Call for Papers: ARCS 2026: Open-Source Architectures: From RISC-V to AI Accelerators
https://arcs-conference.org/
Submitted by Mathias Pacher

39th GI/ITG International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS 2026)

The ARCS conferences series has over 38 years of tradition on reporting leading-edge research in computer architecture and operating systems. New chips are designed either as general-purpose devices with a wide user portfolio in mind, or target the needs of specific applications (e.g. machine learning pipelines for deep learning workloads, mobile or embedded systems). Accordingly, they might rely on well-established architectural approaches
(CPU-like, vector extensions), or bring completely new disruptive ideas limiting energy consumption. In this landscape, ARCS stands out in hosting and presenting such concepts and ideas for versatile architectures. Nowadays, such architectures often include open-source solutions such as RISC-V or AI accelerators, which are drawing more and more attention in academia and industry. ARCS’26 aims to leverage this growing interest in such architectures to foster their development, performance, and dissemination. We welcome all contributions on hardware architectures, as well as their programming models, software stacks (operating systems, compilers…), their insertion into computing systems, and the challenges to port optimized code.

In addition to the main conference, ARCS will host:
-A special track on Organic Computing.
-A special track on Dependability and Fault Tolerance.
-A PhD forum to present the work of young doctoral students (10 page papers).
-A Group forum for new professors, individual researchers, and consortia to present their research (5 page papers).

The proceedings of ARCS 2026 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. A best paper will be elected by the Program Committee, and the Participants’ Favourite Presentation Award will be chosen by the audience.

Call for Papers: ACM Sigmetrics 2026: Operational Systems Track
https://www.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics2026/
Submitted by Stefan Schmid (TU Berlin)

ACM Sigmetrics would like to point the community to a new track which may be of interest to some of you.

Operational Systems Track at ACM Sigmetrics 2026: This is a new track that seeks papers describing deployed systems that are in significant use in a real-world setting.

Papers in this track should focus on principled measurement, modeling, and metrics pertaining to the system. Papers in this track need not necessarily present new ideas as judged by the “academic novelty” standard that we traditionally use for research paper submissions.
Good papers could present how known ideas work in practice, how design principles scale (or do not scale) to large production-scale systems, prove (or, disprove) existing assumptions with real-world data, bring out new performance modeling problems from real-world systems to the attention of the research community, etc.
The paper must describe “lessons learned” in the context of prior approaches known in the literature. Accepted papers in this track will be published as a regular paper along with papers in the research track.

ASPLOS 2026 has moved to two submission deadlines – spring and summer – which are meant to encourage authors to submit their papers when they are ready. As in recent years, ASPLOS 2026 will allow the authors of some submissions to choose to apply a major revision to their submission in order to fix a well-defined list of problems.

Spring Cycle

  • Abstract submission — March 05, 2025 (11:59pm Eastern)
  • Full paper submission — March 12, 2025
  • Author response — June 09 — 13, 2025
  • Notification — June 24, 2025

Summer Cycle

  • Abstract submission — Aug 13, 2025 (11:59pm Eastern)
  • Full paper submission — Aug 20, 2025
  • Author response — Nov 10 — 14, 2025
  • Notification — Nov 24, 2025

Scope and Expectations

The scope of ASPLOS 2026 covers all practical aspects related to the three main ASPLOS disciplines: computer architecture, programming languages, and operating systems, as well as closely-related associated areas. ASPLOS construes systems broadly, and areas of interest include, but are not limited to: operating systems, file and storage systems, distributed systems, cloud computing, mobile and edge systems, secure and reliable systems, systems aspects of big data and machine learning, embedded and real-time systems, and virtualization.

We seek original, high-quality research submissions that improve and further the knowledge of applied computer systems, with emphasis on the intersection between the main ASPLOS disciplines:  Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Computer Architecture and Emerging Hardware.

Research submission may be applicable to computer systems of any scale, ranging from small, ultra-low power wearable devices to large scale parallel computers and data centers. We embrace research that directly targets new problems in innovative ways. The research may target diverse goals, such as throughput, latency, energy, and security. Non-traditional topics are encouraged, and the review process will be sensitive to the challenges of multidisciplinary work in emerging areas. We welcome submission of “experience papers” that have a novel component and that clearly articulate the lessons learned. We likewise welcome submissions whereby novelty lies in furthering our understandings of existing systems, e.g., by uncovering previously unknown, valuable insights or by convincingly refuting prior published results and common wisdom. We value submissions more highly if they are accompanied by clearly defined artifacts not previously available, including traces, original data, source code, or tools developed as part of the submitted work. We particularly encourage new ideas and approaches.

Alphabetically sorted areas of interest related to practical aspects of computer architecture, programming languages, and operating systems include but are not limited to:

  • Existing, emerging, and nontraditional compute platforms at all scales
  • Heterogeneous architectures and accelerators
  • Internet services, cloud computing, and datacenters
  • Memory, storage, networking, and I/O
  • Power, energy, and thermal management
  • Profiling, debugging, and testing
  • Security, reliability, and availability
  • Systems for enabling parallelism and computation on big data
  • Virtualization and virtualized systems

A good submission will typically: motivate a significant problem; propose a practical solution or approach that makes sense; demonstrate not just the pros but also the cons of the proposal using sound experimental methods; explicitly disclose what has and has not been implemented; articulate the new contributions beyond previous work; and refrain from overclaiming, focusing the abstract and introduction sections primarily on the difference between the new proposal and what is already available. The latter statement should be interpreted broadly to also encompass studies that broaden our understanding of existing systems (rather than suggest new ones), which may constitute a significant problem in its own right. Submissions will be judged on relevance, novelty, technical merit, clarity. Submissions are expected to adhere to SIGPLAN’s Empirical Evaluation Guidelines and all the policies specified below.

Call for Papers: 3rd Workshop on Unary Computing (WUC)
https://sites.google.com/view/wuc-3rd
Submitted by Di Wu

Objectives

Our brain operates at 20 watts, while one rack of CPUs and GPUs for similar tasks demand staggering 10,000 watts or even more. The prevalence of Generative AI is just making it worse, due to billions of model parameters. Leveraging a compute fabric based on event-driven spikes, our brain effortlessly executes complex tasks with unmatched energy efficiency, surpassing the capabilities of any existing von-Neumann architecture. These spikes manifest as unary data, conveyed as distinct 0s and 1s sequentially, diverging from the conventional binary representation. This unary computing model is omnipresent in our neurons, supporting human intelligence with extreme efficiency, with the earliest form of dates back to 1960s. Unary computing has been extensively utilized for both arithmetic and neural operations, by different groups targeting various applications, showcasing its potential in the signal processing, error correction, and AI. This workshop aims to establish connections among global computing researchers, fostering the exchange of ideas in unconventional computing paradigms, broadly centered around computing on unary data. As AI is really devouring our energy, it is crucial to contemplate the broad implications of unary computing on efficient perception, cognition, AI, and beyond. The workshop serves as a platform to explore the profound impact of unary computing in these domains.

Topics of Interest

Papers that contribute to the theory, applications and system of unary computing are solicited. General topics of interest include (not limited to):

PAW-ATM 2025: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X
Held in conjunction with SC25, St. Louis, MO
https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/

Summary
As supercomputers become more and more powerful, the number and diversity of applications that can be tackled with these machines grow. Unfortunately, the architectural complexity of these  supercomputers grows as well, with heterogeneous processors, multiple levels of memory hierarchy, and many ways to move data and synchronize between processors. The MPI+X programming model, use of which is considered by many to be standard practice, demands that a programmer be expert in both the application domain and the low-level details of the architecture(s) on which that application will be deployed, and the availability of such superhuman programmers is a critical bottleneck. Things become more complicated when evolution and change in the underlying architecture translates into significant re-engineering of the MPI+X code to maintain performance. Numerous alternatives to the MPI+X model exist, and by raising the level of abstraction on the application domain and/or the target architecture, they offer the ability for “mere mortal” programmers to take advantage of the supercomputing resources that are available to advance science and tackle urgent real-world problems.

However, compared to the MPI+X approach, these alternatives generally lack two things. First, they aren’t as well known as MPI+X and a domain scientist may simply not be aware of models that are a good fit to their domain. Second, they are less mature than MPI+X and likely have more functionality or performance “potholes” that need only be identified to be addressed. PAW-ATM is a forum for discussing HPC applications written in alternatives to MPI+X. Its goal is to bring together application experts and proponents of high-level languages to present concrete example uses of such alternatives, describing their benefits and challenges.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Novel application development using high-level parallel programming languages  and frameworks
  • Examples that demonstrate performance, compiler optimization, error checking,  and reduced software complexity
  • Applications from artificial intelligence, data analytics, bioinformatics, and  other novel areas
  • Performance evaluation of applications developed using alternatives to MPI+X and comparisons to standard programming models
  • Novel algorithms enabled by high-level parallel abstractions
  • Experience with the use of new compilers and runtime environments
  • Libraries using or supporting alternatives to MPI+X
  • Benefits of hardware abstraction and data locality on algorithm implementation
  • Papers that include description of applications that demonstrate the use of alternative programming models will be given higher priority.

Submissions
Submissions are solicited in two categories:

  1. Full-length papers presenting novel research results: Full-length papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers must describe original work that has not appeared in, nor is under consideration for, another conference or journal. Papers shall be eight (8)  pages minimum and not exceed ten (10) pages including text, figures, and non-AD/AE appendices, but excluding bibliography and acknowledgments.
    PAW-ATM follows the reproducibility initiative of SC25. Submissions shall include an Artifact Description (AD) appendix, and may optionally include an Artifact Evaluation (AE) appendix.
    Authors should include a draft of the AD/AE appendices with the initial manuscript PDF submission. You will have the opportunity to revise the appendix before its final submission. See https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ for further details.
  2. User experience abstracts: Abstracts will be evaluated separately and will not be included in the published proceedings. Submissions in this track include a title and 1-4 pages abstract. The content may include any combination of novel and/or previously published work that is relevant to the workshop’s scope. Content that highlights the experiences of users of alternatives of MPI, and their    applications, will be prioritized within this submission category.
    Abstracts may optionally include AD/AE appendices, not included in the abstract page count, but such appendices will not be evaluated and no badges will be awarded.

This creates a variety of new challenges that necessitate unconventional strategies to maintain scalability in both upward and outward directions. With Large Language Model (LLM) parameter sizes approaching several billions, chiplet-based architectures represent a promising technological advancement that could enable a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for processing such models, thus potentially transforming the future landscape of cognitive systems.

The CogArch workshop solicits formative ideas and new product offerings in the general space of AI systems that covers all the design aspects of cognitive systems, with particular focus this year on the adoption of chiplets as a promising way to support large-scale generative AI.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • 2.5D/3D chiplet architectures, along with wafer scaling and various heterogeneous integration methods, including optical heterogeneous integration, to create scalable frameworks for generative AI models.
  • Development of software and compiler frameworks for large-scale deployment of generative AI models.
  • Hardware-software co-design for commercially deployed AI hardware acceleration frameworks.
  • Accelerators and micro-architectural support for LLMs.
  • Reliability and safety considerations, and security against adversarial attacks in cognitive architectures.
  • Techniques for improving energy efficiency of AI applications, and battery life extension and endurance in mobile AI architectures.
  • AI/ML for fast system modeling and AI/ML as design methodology.

Co-located with ISCA 2025

Overview:
Training and deploying huge machine learning models, such as GPT, Llama, or large GNNs, require a vast amount of compute resources, power, storage, memory. The size of such models is growing exponentially, as is the training time and the resources required. The cost to train large foundation models has become prohibitive for everyone but very few large players. While the challenges are most visible in training, similar considerations apply to deploying and serving large foundation models for a large user base.
The proposed workshop aims to bring together AI/ML researchers, computer architects, and engineers working on a range of topics focused on training and serving large ML models. The workshop will provide a forum for presenting and exchanging new ideas and experiences in this area and to discuss and explore hardware/software techniques and tools to lower the significant barrier of entry in the computation requirements of AI foundation models.

Submissions:
Authors can submit either 8-page full papers or up to 4-page short papers. In the short paper format, out-of-the box ideas and position papers are especially encouraged.
See the website for submission details.

Topics:
The workshop will present original works in areas such as (but not inclusive to): workload characterization, inference serving at scale, distributed training, novel networking and interconnect approaches for large AI/ML workloads, addressing resilience of large training runs, data reduction techniques, better model partitioning, data formats and precision, efficient hardware and competitive accelerators.

Accepted papers will be published in ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS) after two stages of review. Articles not accepted after the second stage will still have the possibility of continuing as regular journal papers in TECS (pending a decision from the TPC chairs).
2. Late Breaking (LB) Result Track: LB papers disseminate complete and mature works written in a condensed form and are limited to 4 pages in IEEE double column format. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Embedded Systems Letters (ESL) after one stage of review. Articles not accepted after this stage will still have the possibility of continuing as regular journal papers in ESL (pending a decision from the TPC chairs).

An accepted paper will be removed from the journal (TECS or ESL) and the technical program unless both of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) One author of the accepted paper must register at the full conference (author registration) rate, and (2) An author of the accepted paper must present (in-person) the paper in the conference.

These venues are mutually exclusive, i.e., a work can only be in submission to one of the categories. Special Session papers, Keynote/Tutorial abstracts, etc. are also published in the ESWEEK Proceedings of the  respective conferences. All these publications will be listed as regular publications within the ACM and/or IEEE digital libraries.

Requirements for submitted benchmarks:

  • Must be open-source.
  • Full application workloads are preferred, though kernels or microbenchmarks are welcome when appropriate.
  • Any programming model is acceptable (RTL, HLS, or emerging languages). In case of HLS or emerging languages, the generated RTL must be submitted as well.
  • Must be verified and usable with open-source FPGA tools (Yosys, VTR, etc).
  • One submission can include multiple benchmarks.  

Submissions should include:

  • Benchmark code provided as a GitHub link, including a README with setup and execution instructions.
  • A 2-page (excluding references) paper in ACM conference format, describing the benchmark, its relevance to the application domain, and methods employed for verification and open-source tool compatibility.

Selected benchmarks will be featured through poster flash talks and a poster session at the workshop

Submission Link: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/WDSFPGA2026

📣 Call for Wild Ideas & Bold Positions

We are seeking early-stage, unconventional, and forward-looking ideas on domain-specialized FPGA architectures and CAD to spark creative dialogue and inspire new directions for the field.
We welcome position or idea papers that explore speculative concepts, qualitative insights, or emerging research visions. Some guidelines are:

  • Can be focused on architectures or CAD or applications for FPGAs.
  • Quantitative results are not required.

Submissions should:

  • Be 3-4 pages long (ACM conference format), excluding references.

2nd Workshop on Architecture for Health (Arch4Health 2026)
31st January 2026, Sydney, Australia
co-located with HPCA 2026

https://events.safari.ethz.ch/hpca26-arch4health/

A full-day workshop exploring the key computational challenges in health-related applications and the vital role of computer architecture in overcoming them to advance healthcare

Summary:
Opportunities. Recent biotechnological advances enable high-throughput, low-cost, and accurate biological data generation (e.g., using genome sequencing, medical imaging, and continuous wearable sensing). This wealth of data enables unique opportunities for advancing healthcare.
Challenges. Despite these opportunities, efficiently analyzing large-scale biological data poses significant challenges for conventional computing systems. These systems often cannot keep up with the rate at which data is generated, and they face additional constraints related to energy efficiency, scalability, privacy, and security. High-throughput processing is especially critical in clinical settings, where faster analysis can improve patient outcomes. Therefore, there is a need to design systems to enable high-performance, energy-efficient, private, and secure analysis of biological data.
Architecture for Health. This workshop will focus on identifying key computational challenges in health-related applications and discussing how computer architects can contribute to advancing healthcare by addressing these challenges.
Fostering Diverse and Cross-Disciplinary Discussions. Since cross-disciplinary discussions are crucial for better identifying challenges in real-world health-related applications, we aim to foster open discussions and cooperation between researchers with diverse backgrounds (i.e., from both computer architecture and health sciences communities, industry, and academia).

Call for Presentations:
This workshop consists of talks on the general topic of computing system designs for healthcare applications, as well as new trends and bottlenecks in data-intensive healthcare applications. There are slots available for talks. If you are interested in delivering a talk on related topics, please submit your talk’s title and extended abstract via this form: https://forms.gle/8ZmbDWH6szNQBchE8

Call for Presentations: CACHP @ PPoPP 2026
https://fastcode.org/events/coevolution-workshop/
Submitted by Bruce Hoppe

Workshop on Co-evolution of Algorithms, Compilers, and Hardware for Performance (CACHP)
Co-located with PPoPP 2026
31 January – 4 February 2026
Sydney, Australia

Achieving performance requires advances in various aspects, including algorithms,  programming models, software construction, compilers, and hardware. Progress in each of these areas influences and reshapes the others. For example, a new code pattern may first appear as a hand-crafted optimization by an expert programmer, then evolve into a portable compiler transformation, and eventually inspire changes in hardware architecture or system design. Such cross-pollination drives innovation, yet opportunities for the communities to engage in joint discussion remain limited.

The workshop will be organized as a half-day event (approximately four hours). We are soliciting talk proposals to introduce recent advances as well as challenges that could shape the next generation of research. Importantly, the workshop emphasizes idea exchange rather than publication, so it does not require proceedings.

Paper Submission
All submissions must be made electronically through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cachp26). A submission should include the abstract and a high-level description of the work covered by the proposed talk. Each talk is around 20 minutes. All submissions must include a title, an abstract, and a description of the talk, and should be no longer than one page. Authors can provide additional links to related publications. A talk can feature one or multiple publications (e.g., a series of related ones). We especially encourage work that covers novel designs of algorithms, compilers, or hardware inspired by one another. Submissions will be peer-reviewed, and accepted submissions will be invited to give talks at the workshop.

We do not have a strict format requirement since the workshop does not require proceedings. Using the ACM SIGPLAN template is recommended.

Important Dates:

  • Dec. 15th, 2025: Talk submission deadline
  • Jan. 10th, 2026: Accepted talk notification
  • Jan. 31st, 2026: Afternoon workshop
