Call for Abstracts

Scope:

The goal of BARC is to provide a forum for computer architects in the Greater Boston area and beyond to get together and present/discuss the 'latest and greatest' in the area of computer architecture. Papers are being sought on many aspects of computer architecture, including (but not limited to):

  • Microarchitecture
  • Multicore/manycore processors and co-processors
  • GPUs
  • Memory systems
  • I/O
  • Networking and communication
  • Low power
  • Adaptive and hybrid systems
  • Architectures based on emerging technologies
  • Accelerator-based architectures
  • Embedded processing
  • Performance evaluation techniques
  • Hardware Description Languages and Techniques
  • Hardware Security and Trust

    • Important Dates:

    Deadline Extended January 14, 2022
    Abstract Submission Deadline: January 21, 2022
    Author Notification: January 23, 2022
    Workshop Date: Friday, January 28, 2022

    Submissions:

    We invite abstracts, two pages or shorter, for consideration for presentation at BARC 2022. We will also have a session of lightning talks - you should denote a lightning round talk in your title as "Lightning Round". Authors may present work they have already published elsewhere, or plan to publish in the future. We welcome participation from those outside of the Greater Boston area.

    Please submit your abstract (in PDF format) using EasyChair:
    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=barc2022.

    Abstracts will be accepted for a Zoom presentation or a YouTube with live chat option.

    For questions, contact Kurt Keville

    The final manuscripts of all accepted abstracts will be posted on the BARC 2022 website. Please use the following guidelines for preparing the final manuscript: The technical program of BARC 2022 includes both oral presentations and poster presentations. Each oral presentation will be 20 minutes long (including Q&A). Poster authors should print their posters and bring to the workshop. The size of the posters can be up to 8'x4'.
