============================================================================== 


The HiPEAC conference is the premier scientific networking forum for 
experts in
computer architecture, programming models, compilers and operating 
systems for
embedded and general-purpose systems.  Emphasis is given on cross-cutting
research and innovative ideas (new programming models, novel architecture
approaches, new technologies, etc.). The conference hosts a number of 
associated
workshops, tutorials, a large poster session and an exhibition that run in
parallel with the conference. The 8th HiPEAC conference will take place in
Berlin, Germany from Monday 21 to Wednesday January 23, 2013.

JOURNAL FIRST PUBLICATION MODEL

In 2011, TACO and HiPEAC jointly carried out an experiment with a 
publication
model where original contributions on HiPEAC topics were solicited for 
TACO.
Record-high numbers of submitted and accepted papers witness the 
significant
interest in this model. This year, TACO seeks original submissions at 
any time.
Accepted TACO papers by November 15, 2012 and whose topics match those 
of HiPEAC
will be selected and invited for presentation at HiPEAC conference. In 
order to
enjoy two rounds of review, and to be considered for invitation to 
present at
the HiPEAC 2013 conference, papers should be submitted no later than 
June 18, 2012.
Accepted papers will be published in regular issues of ACM TACO.

For submission details, please refer to

Topics of interest to HiPEAC 2013 include, but are not limited to:

- Processor architectures
- Memory system optimization
- Power, performance and implementation efficient designs
- Reliability and real-time support in processors, compilers and 
run-time systems
- Network and security processors
- Application-specific processors and accelerators
- Reconfigurable architectures
- Simulation and methodology
- Hardware and run-time support for programming languages
- 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
