The 36th Annual IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP 2025)
July 28-30, 2025
Vancouver, BC, Canada
https://www.asap-2025.org
Registration link: https://www.asap-2025.org/registration/
Early registration deadline: June 28, 2025
The history of the event traces back to the International Workshop on Systolic Arrays, organized in 1986 in Oxford, UK. It later developed into the International Conference on Application Specific Array Processors. With its current title, it was organized for the first time in Chicago, USA in 1996. Since then it has alternated between Europe and North-America. The conference will cover the theory and practice of application-specific systems, architectures, and processors.
For a quick preview of ASAP 2025, we will have a variety of talks across 1) LLMs, Transformers, and Accelerators, 2) Scalable Systems and Secure Acceleration, 3) RISC-V and Custom Architectures, and 4) Design Exploration and Emerging Hardware. Besides regular paper talks, we will have two exciting keynotes, and a few invited sessions on special topics such as 1) Reconfigurable Edge Computing, 2) Architectures for Sustainable Security, and 3) Custom Computing in Canada. One special event this year is a retrospective review of most impactful ASAP papers in the past decades. In addition, we are also planning for a couple of sponsor workshops and/or tutorials, as well as lots of interesting poster presentations.
Keynotes
Keynote 1: Towards 40 Years of ASAP: From Systolic Array to Application-Specific Processing
Prof. Wayne Luk, Imperial College London
Keynote 2: For ML and With ML: The New Normal in Hardware Design
Prof. Lizy John, University of Texas at Austin

https://ccmcc.eclectx.org/cfp.html
The IEEE Cross-disciplinary Conference on Memory-Centric Computing (CCMCC) is a new conference that aims to bring experts from diverse fields together, all working on advancing memory-centric computing, including processing in memory and processing near memory. It is a platform for sharing new ideas, exchanging insights, and fostering collaboration. CCMCC’s mission is to accelerate innovation in memory-centric computing and its the integration into real-world applications.
We are soliciting papers across the entire memory-centric computing stack, from software to architecture to circuits and devices. You can see a broader list of topics on the CFP.
Abstracts are due June 2, with full drafts due on June 9.
Papers are due June 15th. We are accepting both long (10-12 page) and short (4-6) page papers. Please consider submitting!

The 10th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop (PDSW 2025)
Co-located with Supercomputing 2025
Summary
The increasing importance of efficient data storage and management continues to drive scientific productivity across traditional simulation-based HPC environments and emerging Cloud, AI/ML, and Big Data analysis frameworks. Challenges are compounded by the rapidly expanding volumes of experimental and observational data, the growing disparity between computational and storage hardware performance, and the rise of novel data-driven algorithms in machine learning. This workshop aims to advance research and development by addressing the most pressing challenges in large-scale data storage and processing.
We invite the community to contribute original research manuscripts that introduce and evaluate novel algorithms or architectures, share significant scientific case studies or workloads, or assess the reproducibility of previously published work. We emphasize the importance of community collaboration for problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, standardization, and shared tools. Authors are encouraged to provide comprehensive experimental environment details (software versions, benchmark configurations, etc.) to promote transparency and facilitate collaborative progress.
