33rd Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop
Official website: raw.necst.it
May 25th-27th 2026. New Orleans, USA

The 33rd Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop (RAW 2026) will be held in New Orleans, USA on may 25th-27th 2026. RAW 2026 is associated with the 40th Annual IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IEEE IPDPS 2026) 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.

Paper Submission

Submission Rounds

This year RAW will have a single submission round at the end of January.

Submission Link

Papers are to be submitted through Linkings. All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format. Submitted papers should not have appeared in or be under submission for a different workshop, conference or journal. It is also expected that all accepted papers (full or short) will be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

Publication and Journal Special Issue

IEEE CS Press will publish the IPDPS symposium and workshop abstracts as a printed volume. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the conference. We will also invite top papers from the workshop to extend their work and submit to the ACM TRETS special issue on RAW 2026.
