Overview

Memory-device manufacturing, memory-architecture design, and the use of memory technologies by application software all profoundly impact today’s and tomorrow’s computing systems, in terms of their performance, function, reliability, predictability, power dissipation, and cost. Existing memory technologies are seen as limiting in terms of power, capacity, and bandwidth. Emerging memory technologies offer the potential to overcome both technology and design related limitations to answer the requirements of many different applications. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and others interested in this exciting and rapidly evolving field, in order to update each other on the latest state-of-the-art technology, exchange ideas, and discuss future challenges.

Conference Schedule and Venue

This inaugural event will be held at the Mövenpick Hotel in Frankfurt am Main, with an opening reception & poster session Wednesday evening, followed by two full days of technical presentations on Thursday & Friday and an Awesome Awards Banquet Thursday evening.

Tracks and Topics

Tracks on the following topics are being organized and will be presented over the 2-day conference:

    Memory-centric programming models, programming languages, and compiler optimization
    Difficulties integrating different memory types into the software stack
    Memristors, other nonvolatile memories, and compute-in-memory technologies
    Emerging memory technologies, their controllers, and novel uses
    Memory systems, IP, SoC, controllers in automotive applications
    Interference at the memory level across datacenter applications
    Issues in the design and operation of large-memory machines
    In-memory databases and NoSQL stores
    Memory limitations in AI/ML applications and architectures
    Post-CMOS scaling efforts and memory technologies to support them, including cryogenic, neural, and heterogeneous memories

This CFP seeks papers and talks on these and other related topics.

Submissions and Presentations

Our primary goal is to showcase interesting ideas that will spark conversations between disparate groups—to get applications people, operating systems people, system architecture people, interconnect people, and circuits people all to talk to each other. We accept extended abstracts, position papers, and/or full research papers, and each accepted submission is given a 20-minute presentation time slot. All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
