2018 IEEE 26th Annual International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM)

The IEEE Symposium on Field Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM) is the original and premier forum for presenting and discussing new research related to computing that exploits the unique features and capabilities of FPGAs and other reconfigurable hardware. For 25 years, FCCM has been the place to present papers on architectures, tools, and programming models for field programmable custom computing machines and applications that use such systems. Papers are solicited on the following topics related to Field Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCMs):

Abstractions, Architectures, and Programming Models

• Novel reconfigurable architectures, including overlay architectures
• Architectures for high performance and/or low power computing
• Security enhancements for reconfigurable computing
• Volatile and non-volatile memory subsystems; stacked/hybrid memory cubes
• Emerging technologies with runtime reconfigurable-like properties
• Clusters or large systems of reconfigurable devices

Tools

• Abstractions, programming models, and runtimes, including virtualization
• New languages and design frameworks for spatial or heterogeneous applications
• High-level synthesis and designer productivity in general
• Software-Defined-systems (e.g. radio, networks, frameworks for new domains)

Reconfiguration

• Run-time management of reconfigurable hardware
• System resilience/fault tolerance for reconfigurable hardware
• Evolvable, adaptable, or autonomous reconfigurable computing systems
• Security implications of run-time reconfiguration

Applications

• Data center/cluster with reconfigurable applications
• New uses of run-time reconfiguration in applications-specific systems
• Applications that utilize reconfigurable technology for performance and efficiency
• Novel use of state-of-the-art commercial FPGAs
