high performance computing on graphics processing units: hgpu.org

The IEEE Symposium on Field Programmable Custom Computing Machines is the original and
premier forum for presenting and discussing new research related to computing that exploits the unique
features and capabilities of FPGAs and other reconfigurable hardware. Over the past two decades, FCCM
has been the place to present papers on architectures, tools, and programming models for field
programmable custom computing machines as well as applications that use such systems. Papers on the
traditional topics of FCCM as described below are solicited. Novel research in the general area of
reconfigurable computing is also encouraged:

Architectures and Programming Models
• Architectures for high performance and/or low power configurable computing
• New spatial architectures with immense parallelism but different basic components than FPGAs
• System level architectures for reconfigurable computing in either real-time or non-real-time systems
• Heterogeneous architectures that integrate a mix of coarse, fine, special purpose, and general purpose hardware
• Implications and effects of new technologies, including nanotechnology, on reconfigurable computing (and vice versa)
• Security enhancements for reconfigurable computing

Languages and Compilers
• New languages and development environments to describe spatial or heterogeneous applications
• Tools to make runtime reconfiguration more accessible to application designers
• Compilation and CAD techniques for reconfigurable computing systems and other spatial computers

Run-Time Systems and Run-Time Reconfiguration
• Operating system techniques to manage run-time reconfiguration of resources in reconfigurable computing or spatial computing systems
• Run-time CAD algorithms to support the above techniques or improve fault tolerance/avoidance
• Use of reconfigurability to build evolvable or adaptable computing systems
• Novel uses of run-time reconfiguration in application-specific systems
• Implications of run-time reconfiguration on security

Applications
• Applications that use reconfigurability to customize hardware for scientific computation, mobile
communications, medical image processing, data and communication security, network infrastructure
and other embedded systems. These papers should describe novel use of some particular attribute of
the reconfigurable device used, or discuss lessons that will help other users.
• Comparison of application implementations on different spatial hardware, such as GPUs, multi-core processors, and FPGA
