Call for papers

The conference will cover the theory and practice of application-specific systems, architectures and processors. The 2014 conference will build upon traditional strengths in areas such as computer arithmetic, cryptography, compression, signal and image processing, network processing, reconfigurable computing, application-specific instruction-set processors, and hardware accelerators. We especially encourage submissions in the following areas:

Bioinformatics and computational biology – life sciences present a host of interesting problems that can benefit from application-specific solutions
Computational finance – the financial community has significant needs for high performance computing
Big data analytics – extracting and correlating information from large scale semi-structured and unstructured data using application-specific systems
Architecturally diverse systems – systems that use heterogeneous computing resources including FPGAs, GPUs, and CGRAs
Architectural and system level design space exploration and customization techniques for improving the design efficiency
Architectures for emerging platforms, such as smartphones, tablets, and data centers, with emphasis on energy efficiency
