HOT Chips 16

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

                         Stanford University
                        Palo Alto, California
                          August 22-24, 2004

For the last 16 years, Hot Chips has been the leading conference on high-performance microprocessors and related integrated circuits. The conference is held once a year in August on the Stanford University campus in the center of the world's electronics capital, Silicon Valley. The emphasis this year, as in previous years, is on real products and realizable technology.

Topics of interest for this year's conference include but are not limited to:

Presentations at HOT Chips are in the form of 30-minute talks. Presentation slides will be published in the HOT Chips Proceedings. Participants are not required to submit written papers, but a select group will be invited to submit a paper for inclusion in a special issue of IEEE Micro.

Submissions must consist of a title, extended abstract (two pages maximum), and the presenter's contact information (name, affiliation, job title, address, phone, fax, and email). Please indicate whether you have submitted, intend to submit or have already presented or published a similar or overlapping submission to another conference or journal. Also indicate if you would like the submission to be held confidential; we do our best to maintain confidentiality.

Submissions are evaluated by the Program Committee on the basis of the performance of the device (or devices), degree of innovation, use of advanced technology, potential market significance, and anticipated interest to the audience. Research and software contributions will be evaluated with similar criteria. Authors will be notified of the status of their submission by the end of April, 2004.

Don't miss this chance to present your work to an audience of engineers, computer architects, and computer system and device researchers. Submissions must be received no later than March 25, 2004.

Please make your submissions in plain ascii text (in the message, not as an attachment) to:

program@hotchips.org

(Submissions containing figures may be submitted in pdf, but plain ascii is preferred.)

For more information, see the Hot Chips 16 Web site at:

The town has one of the prettiest coastal landscapes in France, which spreads on about 25 kilometers. The Sophia-Antipolis technological park is located at the North East of the city.

PACT aims at bringing together researchers in architecture, compilers, applications and languages to present and discuss innovative research of common interest. PACT solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics that include, but are not limited to:

Information for Authors
Papers should not exceed 6000 words in PDF or Postcript format. Detailed instructions for electronic submission and important dates will be posted on the PACT conference web site, http://www.pactconf.org/ For any additional information regarding paper submission, please contact the Program Chairs, Mateo Valero (mateo@ac.upc.es) or Josep L. Larriba-Pey (larri@ac.upc.es). The paper submission deadline will be March 21st 2004 (12:00 pm. European Continental time).

Introduction

Mobile communication systems and handheld consumer appliances (cellular and video phones, MP3
players, global positioning systems, digital cameras, personal digital advisors) are the emerging
areas in computer and communication applications. These new devices present new challenges for
its designers: these devices must be multifunctional, provide high computational performance and
be very energy efficient. The traditional microprocessors and digital signal processors can't
meet these requirements because of the low computational efficiency: relatively low performance
and high power consumption. Also, the computationally efficient designs based on application
specific integrated circuits (ASICs) can't meet these requirements either, because of their
inflexibility for multifunctional use. Thus, the new applications demand a new technology.

A new promising approach is a configurable or adaptive computing platform that aims at
implementing algorithms in a computational space consisting of a huge number of elementary
computing cells. Such space can be configured, or adapted, for solving a given problem. The
adaptive computing approach integrates the flexibility of programming conventional computers,
with the efficiency of dedicated hardware devices on ASICs. Adaptive computing platform has
intensively considered as a new prospective architecture for handheld mobile systems

The recent advances in wireless computing systems and research for suitable architectural
solutions have emphasized the ideas behind reconfigurable computing: implementing algorithms
in configurable computational space. Thus, the mobile computing together with reconfigurable
computing has becoming a new trend in hardware designs and is an important area of active
scientific research.

Topics:

The list of topics includes but is not limited by the following:

O Reconfigurable computing architectures. O Compiling high-level languages for reconfigurable platform O Run-time configuration and process management O Energy efficient adaptive architectures O Communication system algorithms and protocols O Image and signal processing algorithms O Data compression and security algorithms in mobile systems O Other topics related to wireless communication systems
