			CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                        HiPEAC 2008
             2008 International Conference on
     High Performance Embedded Architectures & Compilers

           Goteborg, SWEDEN, January 27-29, 2008


  **** Registration now open   http://www.hipeac.net/conference *****



   

The embedded market evolves rapidly, expanding the capabilities of
each new device, and making the previous ones obsolete as technology
advances. In order to achieve the high performance required by new
embedded applications, these embedded processors are increasingly
high-performance processors, with an increasing overlap between
general-purpose and embedded processors.  However, performance does
not simply increase with technology advances, it is essential to find
a way to translate technology into performance, and such is the role
of the computer architect and compiler builder.

The HiPEAC conference provides a high-quality forum for computer
architects and compiler builders working in the field of high
performance computer architecture and compilation for embedded
systems, but is also open to general-purpose research which is
becoming increasingly relevant to the embedded domain. The conference
aims at the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge and the
promotion of international contacts among scientists from academia and
industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   * Processor architectures
   * Memory system optimization
   * Power, performance and implementation efficient designs
   * Interconnection networks, networks-on-chip, network interfaces 
     and processors
   * Security, dependability, and predictability support
   * Application specific processors and accelerators
   * Reconfigurable architectures
   * Simulation and methodology
   * Compiler techniques for embedded processors
   * Feedback-directed optimization
   * Program characterization and analysis techniques
   * Dynamic compilation, adaptive execution, and continuous
       profiling/optimization
   * Back-end code generation
   * Binary translation/optimization
   * Code size/memory footprint optimizations
