CALL FOR PAPERS

ParaFPGA-2009

Parallel Computing with FPGAs

A Mini-Symposium held in conjunction with the
ParCo2009 conference Parallel Computing

Lyon, France, 1-4 September 2009

Deadline: 15 June 2009
================================================== ===================

ParaFPGA2009 is a Mini-Symposium held in conjunction with the
Parallel Computing conference ParCo2009, to be held in
Lyon, France on 1-4 September 2009.

SCOPE

Field programmable gate arrays are emerging in many areas of high
performance computing, either as tailor made signal processor,
embedded algorithm implementation, systolic array, software
accelerator or application specific architecture.

Because of their versatility as an enabling component in parallel
architectures, this mini-symposium addresses all areas of FPGAs in
parallel computing, in particular: methodology, performance analysis,
architectures, algorithms and applications.

Therefore you are cordially invited to participate or submit your
contribution to the ParaFPGA mini-symposium. Topics include, but are
not limited to:

- parallel computing techniques with FPGAs
- FPGA targeted hardware/software co-design
- programming environments for FPGAs
- parallel languages and design tools for FPGA application development
- interconnection networks on FPGAs
- FPGA arithmetic
- Multi-FPGA cores
- performance evaluation
- embedded FPGA platforms
- FPGA-based parallel applications

PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit a full paper (up to 8 pages) or an
extended
abstract (min. 2000 words) using the ParaFPGA server. Details
regarding
the format and other author guidelines are given on the paper
submission
page at http://www.elis.ugent.be/parafpga

Deadline for the submission is 15 June 2009
