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 improves power- or energy-efficiency of computing systems. 

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

Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions as 12-page papers to be considered as regular papers or 8-page papers to be considered as poster papers. Since a double-blind review process will be used, authors should not identify themselves, so author names, affiliations, e-mail addresses and self-references should be blanked out. Papers that appeared previously as preprints on arXiv or similar are welcome and do not violate the double-blind review policy. The version submitted to HEART 2022 should however be anonymized. All contributions must be submitted electronically in PDF format.

Each accepted paper MUST have at least one author with a regular registration for the manuscript to be included and published in the proceedings. Authors are also expected to attend and present their paper(s) at the symposium.
