FCCM 2009 Call for Participation
FCCM'09 Call for Participation
The Seventeenth Annual IEEE Symposium on
Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines
Napa, California
April 5-7 2009
The IEEE Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines is a forum to present and discuss new research on the use of reconfigurable computing technologies and spatial computing for high performance and/or low energy computation. This conference focuses on a wide variety of topics related to custom computing, including but not limited to:
- Architecture of reconfigurable computing devices and systems
- Languages, compilation techniques, tools, and environments for programming and run time support of custom computing machines
- Applications of reconfigurable computing, including the use of reprogrammable logic in scientific computation, mobile communications, medical image processing, data and communication security, network infrastructure and other embedded systems
- Implications and effects of nanotechnology and reconfigurable computing on each other
- Possible forms and system implications of reconfiguration for fault tolerance and avoidance
- Novel use of reconfigurability, including evolvable hardware and adaptive computing
- Spatial computing architectures, languages, compilers, and applications that, like FPGAs and other reconfigurable hardware, use many relatively simple components together for massive parallelism
- Comparisons between reconfigurable implementations and custom multiprocessor implementations (such as NVIDIA’s popular CUDA)
- Hybrid architectures that combine one or more of the above with one or more general-purpose or embedded processors.
This year we will have two days of paper presentations, the 6th and 7th. At 6pm on the 5th there will be a panel workshop, with the topic “FCCM Research: Beyond the Next Five Years”. Panelists include: Hideharu Amano (Keio University), Koen Bertels (Delft University of Technology), Jason Cong (University of California, Los Angeles), John Wawrzynek (University of California, Berkeley), and Martin Wong (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign). Please join us in Napa!
