Call for papers: ================
***************************************************************** 4th Workshop on Optimizations for DSP and Embedded Systems (ODES) *****************************************************************March 26, 2006 ==============
Manhattan, New York, NY in conjunction with IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO)
The performance requirements of digital signal processing and embedded applications are rapidly increasing, but the power and cost budgets are decreasing. Optimization plays a very important role in managing the conflicting demands. The focus of this workshop is similar to its predecessors - understand the various optimization strategies applicable to the design of DSP and embedded systems for performance,power, and cost.
Topics of Interest ==================
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Algorithmic transformations and code/software optimization Hardware and software optimizations for low-power consumption and/or code density Coprocessor and hardware accelerators Compiler techniques and code generation for media processing Frameworks for profiling and scheduling tasks (multiple/concurrent) on various hardware resources (single-core + hardware accelerators, dual-core, system-on-a-chip, etc) Hardware/software tradeoffs with ASICs, FPGA's, DSPs, general-purpose processors, microcontrollers, etc as building blocks Retargetable compilers and reconfigurable architectures
Important dates and deadlines =============================
Submission: January 20, 2006 Acceptance: February 24, 2006 Final version: March 10, 2006
Submission guidelines =====================
To encourage participation from both academia and industry, we are requesting submissions in either of two formats:
A full paper, not exceeding 10 pages in length, two-column formatting preferred. It is expected that an accepted submission of this type will result in a final paper appearing in the workshop's proceedings
OR
A set of slides, along with a brief description (1-2 pages) of the main theme of the talk. It is expected that an accepted submission of this type will result in a talk abstract and a set of slides appearing in the workshop's proceedings
Include the list of authors and their affiliations, addresses, telephone and fax numbers, email addresses and the name of the corresponding author. Please send the submission/s by the deadline to:
Deepu Talla via email at snipped-for-privacy@ti.com.
