CALL FOR PAPERS
FPGA for HPC Workshop 2021
held in conjunction with IEEE Cluster 2021

https://sites.google.com/view/hpcfpga2021

Tuesday, September 7th, 2021
=========================================================================

===================
Conference Operation:
===================

IEEE Cluster 2021 and its workshops will no longer take place in Portland, Oregon, USA and will instead be operated virtually.

===================
Objective of Workshop:
===================

The cluster computing for High Performance Computing (HPC) has been improved both its performance and data handling capabilities mainly thanks to the increase of operation frequency, number of cores per chip and degree of parallelism per instruction. Facing to the limit of power consumption, however, recent world top-class clusters are equipped with Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to enhance their performance/power efficiency for many applications suitable with this accelerating architecture. On the other hand, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has been attractive to compensate several performance difficulties in GPU-only acceleration such as (partial) lack of parallelism in the application, its passive operation under CPU control, not ready for direct communication by itself, etc. We focus on recent great advantage of high-end FPGAs to cover these problems by GPU-only solution as the new technology for next generation of accelerated computing.

FPGA for HPC 2021 Workshop targets the FPGA technologies for mainly (but not limited) High Performance Computing to support computation power, high bandwidth memory usage, optimized FPGA design, programming technique, high speed communication link utilization, etc. The workshop is constructed with contributed technical paper presentation, keynote and invited talks and short panel discussion. The organizers like to provide this workshop as a cross field for exchanging valuable knowledge and technology to be shared by researchers on advanced FPGA technology and applications.

===================
Important Dates:
===================

– Paper submission deadline: June 25th
– Acceptance notification: July 19th
