Modern embedded architectures face a number of new challenges that are being introduced by technology limitations. Just a few of these challenges include ways to continue Moore's law in spite of the frequency wall, new methods to reduce power consumption and to maintain circuit and system reliability due to technology scaling. Despite these technology limitations, the embedded market still demands a continued increase in performance, reduction in power consumption and circuit and microarchitecture-level reliability. Most of today's new embedded architectures introduce various types of parallelism to increase the performance, including SIMD, SMT, SMP and multicore architectures. Some of these high performance architectures are transparent to the end users but requires the compiler to better utilize the new features. Other directions rely on the users to guide the compiler and the system to utilize new hardware features. New dialects of current programming languages are needed and in some cases, new programming languages are required. Power is also a major concern in embedded architectures, particularly the mobile and wireless applications as well as in the emerging ultra low-power markets such as medical and sensor network applications. Most recently, reliability and fault tolerance has been raised to be one of the most crucial topics in the core and SoC design due to soft (i.e. transient) errors and increased circuit variability. Hence, this workshop will focus on these exciting new directions, and how they influence the embedded architectures and compilation domains.

This seminar is a continuation of the series of HiPEAC Industrial Workshops.

The official language of the workshop is English.

Topics
The main focus of this workshop is advanced embedded computer architecture and compiler technology. The topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Modern embedded architectures
* High-performance low-power architectures
* Ultra Low Power Circuit and Microarchitecture Design Techniques
* Reliability and Fault Tolerance
* Symmetric/Asymmetric Multicore, multithreaded, superscalar, and VLIW architectures
* Reconfigurable and soft-core computing
* Compilers and programming tools for modern embedded systems
* Dynamic translation and optimization
* Parallel programming and concurrency support for Multicore/multithreaded systems
* Performance tools for embedded systems
* Non-traditional embedded computing systems topics

Important Dates
Deadline for submission October 1, 2007
Notification of paper acceptance November 1, 2007
Workshop gathering and presentations November 26, 2007

Submissions
Authors should submit their papers electronically to Emre Ozer at emre.ozer@arm.com . Submissions must include an abstract. Please include your postal address, email, phone and fax numbers. An early email with your intention to submit a paper would be greatly appreciated. The authors are free to provide related documents (technical report, article) with additional details on their research work. The workshop will not have proceedings (abstracts will be provided online from http://www.hipeac.net/) so that the presentation of already published work does not raise copyright issues. While this workshop is organized by HiPEAC, submissions will be solely selected by researchers from ARM.
