28th Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop
Official website: raw.necst.it
May 17th-18th 2021. Portland, Oregon, USA
The 28th Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop (RAW 2021) will be held in Portland, Oregon, USA in May 2021. RAW 2021 is associated with the 35th Annual IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IEEE IPDPS 2021) and is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. The workshop is one of the major meetings for researchers to present ideas, results, and on-going research on both theoretical and practical advances in Reconfigurable Computing.
A reconfigurable computing environment is characterized by the ability of underlying hardware architectures or devices to rapidly alter (often on the fly) the functionalities of their components and the interconnection between them to suit the problem at hand. The area has a rich theoretical tradition and wide practical applicability. There are several commercially available reconfigurable platforms (FPGAs and coarse-grained devices) and many modern applications (including embedded systems and HPC) use reconfigurable subsystems. An appropriate mix of theoretical foundations and practical considerations, including algorithms architectures, applications, technologies and tools, is essential to fully exploit the possibilities offered by reconfigurable computing. The Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop aims to provide a forum for creative and productive interaction for researchers and practitioners in the area.
Virtual RAW Program
Reminder about IPDPS 2021 registration: All papers in the workshop must have one author registered at full (non-student) fee. It is assumed that all attendees to the workshop will be registered with IPDPS 2021 to give access to the proceedings and to all live events and recorded sessions of the conference.

Paper Submission
All manuscripts will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee in a single blind review process. Submissions reporting your latest results, exciting developments and, in special cases, summaries of relevant work are sought. Manuscripts for full papers should not exceed 8 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10-point font on 8.5 x 11 inch pages (IEEE conference style) including references, figures and tables. Manuscripts for short papers should not exceed 4 single-space, double-column pages. Papers are to be submitted through EasyChair. Submitted papers should not have appeared in or be under consideration for another workshop, conference or journal.
