2016 IEEE 24th Annual International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM 2016)

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 24 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 architectural abstractions
• Architectures for high performance and/or low power computing
• New spatial architectures built from different components than traditional FPGAs
• Security enhancements for reconfigurable computing

Languages and Compilers

• New languages and design frameworks for spatial or heterogeneous applications
• Tools to make run-time reconfiguration more accessible to application designers
• Compilation and CAD techniques for reconfigurable and spatial computing systems

Run-Time Systems and Run-Time Reconfiguration

• Techniques for virtualizing reconfigurable hardware
• Run-time management of reconfigurable hardware
• Fault tolerance for reconfigurable hardware
• Use of reconfigurability to build evolvable or adaptable computing systems
• Novel uses of run-time reconfiguration in application-specific systems
• Implications of run-time reconfiguration on security

Applications

• Applications built using new high level synthesis technologies
• Data center applications
• Applications that utilize reconfigurable technology for performance and efficiency
• Comparison of application implementations on different spatial hardware
