Call for Papers

The 2nd Workshop on Intelligent Memory Systems

November 12, 2000
Boston, Massachusetts
In conjunction with ASPLOS-IX
http://arch.cs.ucdavis.edu/ims00

Increasing chip densities and inter-chip communication costs continue to fuel interest in intelligent memory systems. Since the First Workshop on Mixing Logic and DRAM in 1997, technologies and systems for computation in memory have developed quickly. The focus of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss recent progress and future goals.

Authors are invited to submit a 3-page extended abstract for review by the program committee. Submissions should be in postscript and mailed to ims00@arch.cs.ucdavis.edu.

Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: August 4, 2000 (Extended to August 11th)
Notification of accepted abstracts: September 15, 2000
Full papers based upon accepted abstracts due: October 20, 2000

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Memory technology and architecture trends
Power/energy optimizations for intelligent memory systems
Verification and testing of intelligent memory systems
Balancing on-chip and off-chip memory bandwidth
Processor, memory and system architectures for intelligent memory
Implementation and performance evaluation of intelligent memory systems
Intelligent memory based multiprocessor systems
Memory system design issues (latency reduction/tolerance, bandwidth, virtual memory support, memory consistency and coherence, system scaling, etc)
Applications of logic-in-memory technology (graphics, caches, network devices, programmable devices with DRAM, etc)
Compilation, optimizations or OS support for intelligent memory systems

Submissions describing both work-in-progress and system retrospectives are encouraged. In addition to contributed presentations, the workshop will include several invited talks on industrial systems and technology. Accepted papers will appear in a printed proceedings.
