If there is a topic that you feel passionate about, and want to connect with others who have similar interests, submit a workshop proposal! We more than welcome new, and unconventional ideas for workshop formats. The following suggestions are a starting point: - Conference-style workshops allow participants to present their work to other domain experts. The smaller and more focused setting of a workshop allows for Q&A sessions and facilitates discussions. Presentations of work-in-progress are welcome. - Retreats act as a platform for experts to gather to tackle issues of a predetermined research agenda. Retreats are highly interactive and goal-oriented, allowing participants to address open challenges, explore new and uncharted ideas. - Agenda-setting workshops provide a forum for experts to determine a research agenda for a sub-field. - Other common activities at workshops include poster sessions, hands-on practical work, and focus groups. Workshops that include the presentation of research papers and that implement a SIGPLAN-approved selection process may archive proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. The workshop chairs will provide advice on achieving this for those interested. Workshop applications will be considered until **May 01, 2022**, or until all slots are allocated. We will also entertain requests for workshops to be held in remote or hybrid modes. ## Workshop Proposal Submission Visit the submission link for the workshop proposal form and for more information on requirements and the evaluation process.

Dr. Mitsuhisa Sato Deputy Director, RIKEN Center for Computational Science * Special Lecture (This presentation is related to CMOS Emerging Technology) Dr. Hao YU Professor, Southern University of Science and Technology * Invited Industrial Talk Atom switch technology for energy efficient electronics Dr. Toshitsugu Sakamoto Co-Founder / CTO, Nano Bridge Semiconductor, Inc. * New in 2022: Special Session on Efficiency-Driven Computing To advance the frontier in power- and energy-efficient computing, HEART 2022 will organize a special session dedicated to works that can quantitatively demonstrate software, hardware and/or architectural techniques that improve the efficiency of computer systems by meeting the following criteria: Given a baseline system B and an accelerated system A, let perf_A, eff_A, perf_B, eff_B be the performance (higher is better) and power- or energy-efficiency of A and B respectively, then this special session seeks submissions that demonstrate: eff_A > eff_B; and perf_A >= perf_B x 0.8 Criteria 1 specifies that the overarching evaluation criteria for this special session are efficiency improvement. In addition, Criteria 2 specifies that while achieving speedup is usually a desirable feature for an accelerated system, for the purpose of this special session, if the authors can demonstrate efficiency improvement in the resulting system A, then A may be up to 20% slower than B as a tradeoff. Submission to this special session includes 2 parts: - An 8-page technical paper describing research contributions. - A 1-page summary describing quantitatively the measured power and performance of the target system. See the conference website for more details. Submissions to the special session are single-blinded. Papers submitted to this special session will undergo a peer-review process to evaluate their technical contributions, which must contain at least 30% beyond previously published work. An award will be given to the submission that demonstrates the most increase in efficiency in this session. *Main Research Track Following its tradition, HEART 2022 will continue to focus on high efficiency as a cross-cutting issue and seeks contributions for the main research track in, but not limited to, the following areas: ** Architectures for Efficient Acceleration Novel systems/platforms based on FPGA, GPU, and other devices Heterogeneous processor architectures and systems for high-performance and/or low-power Domain-specific architectures ** Design Methods and Tools for Efficient Acceleration Programming paradigms, languages, and frameworks High-level synthesis and compilers Runtime methodologies for heterogeneous systems Performance evaluation and analysis ** Applications and Systems Application examples that benefit from efficient acceleration to a great extent Complete systems demonstrating increased energy efficiency and/or performance Comparisons between accelerator technologies *Submission Guidelines (Format and Anonymity) Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions as 12-page papers without references to be considered regular papers or 8-page papers without references to be considered special session papers. HEART2022 adopt a double-blind review process, authors should not identify themselves, so author names, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and self-references should be blanked out. All contributions must be submitted electronically in PDF format according to the ACM proceedings style. Word: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submissio… LaTex: https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t… Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-primary… Each accepted paper MUST have at least one author with a regular registration for the manuscript to be included and published in the proceedings. Authors are also expected to present their paper(s) at the HEART2022 symposium. *Ph.D. Forum Ph.D. students working in areas relevant to HEART 2022 are solicited to submit an extended abstract of up to 4 pages (including references) comprising a summary of their research findings, work in progress, and/or planned research—the Ph.D. Forum is intended as a platform for Ph.D. students to interact with peers and experienced researchers. The Ph.D. forum will be organized as a virtual poster session and include a 5 minutes oral introduction by each student. The Ph.D. student should be the first author; thesis advisors may be coauthors. The technical program committee will review submissions to ensure quality and relevance. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend HEART 2022 and present their posters. The accepted extended abstracts will also appear in the conference proceedings. *Program Committee Jason Anderson, University of Toronto Nick Brown, The University of Edinburgh Joao Cardoso, University of Porto Paul Chow, University of Toronto Oliver Diessel, University of New South Wales Marco Domenico Santambrogio, Politecnico di Milano Iman Firmansyah, National Research and Innovation Agency Diana Goehringer, TU Dresden Martin Herbordt, Boston University Michael Huebner, Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus Tomonori Izumi, Ritsumeikan University Peter Jamieson, Miami University Kenji Kise, Tokyo Institute of Technology Dirk Koch, The University of Manchester Miriam Leeser, Northeastern University Vivek Menon, U.S. Dept. of Defense Takaaki Miyajima, Meiji University Hiroki Nakahara, Tokyo Institute of Technology Hironori Nakajo, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology Smail Niar, LAMIH/CNRS, Polytechnic University Hauts-de-France Kenneth O'Brien, Xilinx Inc Marco Platzner, Paderborn University Christian Plessl, Paderborn University Kentaro Sano, Riken R-CCS Hayden K.H.
