HEART2024 is a forum to present and discuss new research on all aspects of accelerator technologies that improve the performance, power- or energy-efficiency of computing systems.
This year, the conference will be held in Porto, Portugal (Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto - FEUP, Campus) in an in-person format.
The submission deadline is the following, and as in previous years, accepted papers are planned to be published by the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) and appear in the ACM digital library (under confirmation).
## Main Research Track
Following HEART tradition, HEART’2024 will continue to focus on high efficiency as a cross-cutting issue and seek contributions
for the main research track in, but not limited to, the following areas:
### Architectures for Efficient Acceleration
- Novel systems/platforms based on FPGA, GPU, and other devices
- Heterogeneous processor architectures and systems for high-performance and/or low-power
- Domain-specific architectures
### Design Methods and Tools for Efficient Acceleration
- Programming paradigms, languages, and frameworks
- High-level synthesis and compilers
- Runtime methodologies for heterogeneous systems
- Performance evaluation and analysis
### Applications and Systems
- Application examples that benefit from efficient acceleration to a great extent
- Complete systems demonstrating increased energy efficiency and/or performance
- Comparisons between accelerator technologies
## Type of Submissions
Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions as 12-page papers (not counting references) to be considered regular papers. HEART’2024 adopts a double-blind review process, authors should not identify themselves, so author names, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and self-references should be blanked out.
### Ph.D. Forum
Ph.D. students working in areas relevant to HEART’2024 are solicited to submit an extended abstract of up to 4 pages (not counting references) comprising a summary of their research findings, work in progress, and/or planned research―the Ph.D. Forum is intended as a platform for Ph.D. students to interact with peers and experienced researchers.
** The form of Ph.D. forum will consist of pitch and poster presentations.
** The Ph.D. student should be the first author; thesis advisors may be co-authors. The technical program committee will review submissions to ensure quality and relevance.
Each accepted paper MUST have at least one exclusive associated regular registration for the manuscript to be included and published in the proceedings. Authors are also expected to present their paper(s) at the HEART2024 symposium.
The proceedings of HEART2024 will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS): https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings
