The International Symposium on Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies (HEART) is a forum to present and discuss new research on all aspects of accelerator technologies that improve power- or energy-efficiency of computing systems.
New in 2022: Special Session on Efficiency-Driven Computing
To advance the frontier in power- and energy-efficient computing, HEART 2022 will organize a special session dedicated to works that can quantitatively demonstrate software, hardware, and/or architectural techniques that improve the efficiency of computer systems by meeting the following criteria: Given a baseline system B and an accelerated system A, let perfA, effA, perfB, effB be the performance (higher is better) and power- or energy-efficiency of A and B respectively, then this special session seeks submissions that demonstrate:
effA > effB; and perfA >= perfB x 0.8
Criteria 1 specifies that the overarching evaluation criteria for this special session are efficiency improvement. In addition, Criteria 2 specifies that while achieving speedup is usually a desirable feature for an accelerated system, for the purpose of this special session, if the authors can demonstrate efficiency improvement in the resulting system A, then A may be up to 20% slower than B as a tradeoff.
Submission to this special session includes two parts:
- An 8-page technical paper describing research contributions.
- A 1-page summary describing quantitatively the measured power and performance of the target system.
See the conference website for more details. Submissions to the special session are single-blinded. Papers submitted to this special session will undergo a peer-review process to evaluate their technical contributions, which must contain at least 30% beyond previously published work. An award will be given to the submission that demonstrates the most increase in efficiency in this session.
Main Research Track
Following its tradition, HEART 2022 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
Submission Guidelines (Format and Anonymity)
All contributed papers should be submitted through EasyChair titled "HEART2022".
Authors are invited to submit technical papers according to the following new ACM format. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT; otherwise, the ACM publishing system (TAPS) will not be able to accept your manuscript, which means your submission will not be published.
- Word: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submission_template.docx
- LaTex: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-template/acmart-primary.zip
- Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-primary-article-template/wbvnghjbzwpc
For LaTex and Overleaf, please use "manuscript", "screen", "review" format options.
All contributions are expected to
- With 12 pages including text, figures, tables, plus unlimited pages for references considered as regular papers
- With 8 pages including text, figures, tables, plus unlimited pages for references considered as special session papers
- Should be prepared for DOUBLE-BLIND review
- Authors should not identify themselves
- Author names and affiliations should NOT be included in the submitted paper.
- Citations of prior work must be written in a third-party manner.
- Must be submitted electronically in PDF format,
- Only submissions through EasyChair are allowed,
- Must have at least one author with a regular registration for the manuscript to be included and published in the proceedings.
PhD Forum
PhD students working in areas relevant to HEART 2022 are solicited to submit an extended abstract of up to 4 pages (including references) comprising a summary of their research findings, work in progress and/or planned research. The PhD Forum is intended as a platform for PhD students to interact with peers as well as experienced researchers. The forum will be organized as a virtual poster session and include a 5 minutes oral introduction by each student. The PhD student should be the first author; thesis advisors may be coauthors. Submission will be reviewed to ensure quality and relevance. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend HEART 2022 and present their posters. The accepted extended abstracts will also appear in the conference proceedings.
