16th International Conference on High-Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers

HiPEAC 2021


Computing Systems



The HiPEAC conference is the premier European forum for experts in computer
architecture, programming models, compilers and operating systems for embedded and
general-purpose systems.
The 16th HiPEAC conference will take place in Budapest, Hungary from Monday 18
January to Wednesday 20 January, 2021. Associated workshops, tutorials, special
sessions, several large poster sessions and an industrial exhibition will run in
parallel with the conference. The three-day event attracts over 500 delegates each year.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Processor, memory, interconnect, and storage architectures
- Parallel, multi-core and heterogeneous systems
- Interconnection networks
- Architectural support for programming productivity
- Power, performance and implementation efficient designs
- Reliability and real-time support in processors, compilers and run-time systems
- Application-specific processors, accelerators and reconfigurable processors
- Architecture and programming environments for GPU-based computing
- Architectural simulation and methodology
- Architectural and run-time support for programming languages
- Programming models, frameworks and environments for exploiting parallelism
- Compiler techniques
- Feedback-directed optimization
- Program characterization and analysis techniques
- Dynamic compilation, adaptive execution, and continuous profiling/optimization
- Binary translation/optimization
- Code size/memory footprint optimizations
- Architectures for emerging technologies such as neuromorphic, photonics, quantum, etc.
Journal-first publication model
HiPEAC has been pioneering the journal-first publication model. Journal-first means
that the manuscript selection process for the conference is outsourced to a journal
(ACM TACO). Manuscripts can be submitted to the journal at any time throughout the
year as regular journal submissions. For all manuscripts submitted before 1 June, ACM
TACO guarantees that the final decision (including two rounds of revision) will be
communicated before 15 November. All authors of original work papers accepted in the
journal between 15 November 2019 and 15 November 2020 will get an invitation to
present their work during the paper track of the HiPEAC conference. There are no
conference proceedings published.
ACM TACO = Open access
ACM TACO will be an open access journal from 1 July 2018 to 1 July 2022. Hence, all
past and future ACM TACO papers, including all papers accepted to this call, will be
open access to all until July 2022 (at no cost to the authors).
Submission deadline
Manuscripts can be submitted continuously. Manuscripts submitted before 1 June 2020
will get an invitation for HiPEAC 2021, if accepted. Manuscripts submitted after 1 June
2020 will be invited for HiPEAC 2022, if accepted.
