HEART 2024

International Symposium on

Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable
Technologies

June 19-21, 2024 @ Faculty of Engineering of the
University of Porto (FEUP), Porto, Portugal (in-person symposium)

https://www.fe.up.pt/heart2024

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 will be published by the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series
(ICPS) and will appear in the ACM digital library.

Main Research Track

Following HEART tradition, HEART2024 will continue to focus
on high efficiency as a cross-cutting issue and seeks 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.

Ph.D. Forum

The Ph.D. Forum is intended as a platform for Ph.D. students
working in areas relevant to HEART’2024 to interact with peers and experienced
researchers.
The form of Ph.D. forum will consist of pitch and poster presentations.

Submission Guidelines

HEART2024 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.

Regular papers: Prospective authors are invited to submit original
contributions as single-column, 12-page papers (not counting references) to be
considered regular papers.

Ph.D. Forum papers: Ph.D. students working in areas relevant to HEART’2024 are
solicited to submit single-column, 4-page extended abstracts (not counting references)
to be considered as Ph.D. Forum papers comprising a summary of their research
findings, work in progress, and/or planned research. 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.

All contributions (regular papers and Ph.D. Forum papers) must be submitted
electronically in PDF format according to the ACM Primary Article Templates as
follows. Please check the following ACM page, especially “2. The Workflow
and Templates”, for more information.

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.

Publication

The proceedings of HEART2024 will be published by the ACM
International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) and will appear in the ACM
digital library: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings
