[Tccc] cfps: Special Issue on Exploitation of Hardware Accelerators

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on Exploitation of Hardware Accelerators
Microprocessors and Microsystems -- Embedded Hardware Design
Guest Editors: Ramón Doallo, Margarita Amor, Basilio B. Fraguela (Universidade da Coruña, Spain)
The Elsevier Embedded Hardware Design (MICPRO) Journal seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on
Exploitation of Hardware Accelerators scheduled to appear in the first half of 2011.
The importance of hardware accelerators (GPUs, Cell, FPGAs, ...) is increasing rapidly, especially in the
computationally demanding disciplines such as realistic 3D computer graphics and high-performance scientific
computing. The use of these accelerators for General-Purpose computation achieves speedups of orders of
magnitude vs. optimized CPU implementations. They have become powerful, capable, and inexpensive
coprocessors useful for a wide variety of computation.
This Special Issue is focused on issues related to experiences and knowledge in novel solutions exploiting and
defining new trends in hardware accelerators, including hardware architecture, software tools, and applications.
All authors who presented papers at WEHA 2010 are encouraged to submit an extended version of their paper
to MICPRO for possible inclusion in this special issue. However, besides submissions based on WEHA 2010
papers, other high quality submissions within the scope of the special issue are also welcome. Each submission
will be reviewed by at least three reviewers to ensure very high quality of selected papers for the special issue.
AREAS OF INTEREST
The topics of specific interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to the following:
• Languages and Compilers for Hardware Accelerators
• Libraries and Tools to Simplify the Programming of Hardware Accelerators
• Manual and Automatic Optimization Techniques
• Application Development Experience
• Benchmarking of Hardware Accelerators
• Modeling and Performance Prediction for Hardware Accelerators
• Novel Accelerator Architectures
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is neither published, nor
currently under review by other journals or conferences. The author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can
be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/micpro. A limit of 20 pages in the submission format will be enforced.
All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System
(EES) at the following location http://ees.elsevier.com/micpro/. The authors must select " Special Issue: EHA"
when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.
IMPORTANT DATES
ٛ Submission deadline ------------------------------------------- September 10, 2010
Acceptance/Rejection Notification -------------------------- November 15, 2010
Final Version of the Paper ------------------------------------ February 15, 2011
