CALL FOR PAPERS

In conjunction with the 59th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO-59)


CALL FOR PAPERS

Domain specific systems are an increasingly important computing environment for many people and businesses. As the information technologies emerge into various real-world applications such as autonomous driving, IoT (Internet of Things), CPS (Cyber physical systems) and health care applications in the 4th industrial revolution era, the interest in the specialized domain specific computing systems is increasing significantly. In addition to the conventional computing platforms, domain specific computing systems have a lot of design challenges including specialized hardware components like hardware accelerator, optimized library and domain specific languages. This workshop focuses on domain specific system design in both hardware and software aspects and their interaction to improve the availability and efficiency in the emerging real-world applications. The main theme of this workshop in this year is the HW/SW components for domain specific systems. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

Application analysis and workload characterization to design domain specific system for emerging applications, such as autonomous driving, IoT and health care applications.
Domain specific processor/system architectures and hardware features for domain specific systems;
Low-power, energy-efficient domain specific accelerator/system architectures for on-device AI systems;
Hardware accelerators for domain specific systems;
Storage architectures for domain specific systems;
Experiences in domain specific system development;
Novel techniques to improve responsiveness by exploiting domain specific systems;
Novel techniques to improve performance/energy for domain specific systems;
Domain specific systems performance evaluation methodologies;
Application benchmarks for domain specific systems;
Enabling technologies for domain specific systems (smart edge devices, smart sensors, energy harvesting, sensor networks, sensor fusion etc.);
