Welcome to ASAP 2010
The 21st IEEE International Conference on
Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors.
This year's event takes place in Rennes, capital of Brittany in
France.
The history of the event traces back to the
International Workshop on Systolic Arrays, organized in 1986 in
Oxford, UK. It later developed into the International
Conference on Application Specific Array Processors. With its
current title, it was organized for the first time in Chicago,
USA in 1996. Since then it has alternated between Europe and
North-America.
The conference will cover the theory and
practice of application-specific systems, architectures and
processors. Areas for application-specific computing are many
and varied. Some sample application areas include information
systems, signal and image processing, multimedia systems,
communication, high-speed networks, sensor networks,
compression, graphics, cryptography, and many areas of
computational science. Aspects of application-specific
computing that are of interest include, but are not limited
to:
Application-specific systems: network
computing, special-purpose systems, performance evaluation,
design languages, compilers, operating systems, nanocomputing
systems and applications, hardware/software integration and
rapid prototyping.
Application-specific architectures:
special-purpose designs, design methodology, CAD tools, fault
tolerance, specifications and interfaces, networks-on-a-chip,
hardware/software co-design, processor arrays, SoC,
superscalar, multithreaded, VLIW and EPIC architectures.
Application-specific processors: digital
signal processing, computer arithmetic, reconfigurable/custom
computing, implementation methodologies, new technologies,
fine-grain parallelism, FPGAs,low-power designs and
asynchronous hardware.
We especially encourage submissions in the
following areas:
- Bioinformatics and computational biology — life
sciences present a host of interesting problems that can
benefit from application-specific solutions.
- Architecturally diverse systems — systems that use
varied computing resources such as FPGAs, GPUs, Cell
processors, etc.
- Tools and Compilations Methods for Reconfigurable
Computing.
The conference venue in 2010 is Rennes in
France, which is only one hour from the sea-side and the Mont
Saint-Michel, one of the seven world marvel.
