Call for Papers
One page call for papers flier in pdf.
The dramatic embedded processor volumes and the associated market segments force a reevaluation
of the best way to satisfy the possibly conflicting demands placed on processor designs.
Domain-specific embedded processors, such as network, automotive, cellular and others, present
interesting architectural refinements, albeit at the cost of splintering the embedded processor market.
Reprogrammable and/or reconfigurable embedded processors provide an alternative approach,
capable of delivering single, fixedsilicon architectures, thus amortizing design and manufacturing
costs across large volumes, yet necessitating an answer to the challenge of effective customization
of embedded processors.
The workshop papers explore (micro)architectural design approaches and
trade-offs and compiler technologies, for both domain-specific and customizable embedded processors.
The workshop aims at generating a forum wherein the various approaches to address the twin challenges
of cost amortization over large volumes while delivering optimal cost, performance, and power
characteristics for a wide segment of embedded processor market niches will be explored and compared.
WASP explores emerging trends and novel concepts in application-specific processors.
Major topics include, but are not limited to:
- Domain-specific processors (Network, multimedia, etc.)
- Application-specific hardware accelerators
- Microarchitectural customization techniques
- (Re)configurable processor architectures
- Dynamically reconfigurable processors (Microarchitectural, Coarse-grained, FPGA, etc.)
- Application-specific processors in System-on-a-chip (SOC)
- Application-specific customizations for low-power
- Compiler techniques for processor customizations
- OS and Middleware support for application-specific processors
Final versions of accepted papers
will be included in the Workshop of Application Specific Processors Digest, informal handouts given to the registered participants of the workshop. The top ranked papers may be invited for publication in a major technical journal.
