==== Workshop Scope and Goals ====
 
AsHES focuses on understanding the implications of accelerators and
heterogeneous designs on the hardware systems, porting applications,
performing compiler optimizations, and developing programming
environments for current and emerging systems. It seeks to ground
accelerator research through studies of application kernels or whole
applications on such systems, as well as tools and libraries and
runtime systems that improve the performance and productivity of
applications on these systems. 

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

Applications for GPU-based systems, and hybrid/heterogeneous systems
- Applications leveraging GPUs, FPGAs, TPUs, DPUs, and On-Chip Accelerators
- AI/ML workloads including generative AI training/inference 
  (e.g. LLMs, LDMs), recommendation systems and AI for science and engineering
- Scientific and engineering applications
- Big data and cloud computing workloads
- Edge computing and real-time applications
- Application behavior characterization and performance analysis
- Domain-specific applications and benchmarks

Systems Architecture and Design
- Heterogeneous system architectures (ARM, RISC-V, custom extensions)
- Memory hierarchies and novel memory systems
- Energy efficiency and thermal considerations
- Security and reliability in heterogeneous systems
- Design space exploration and trade-off analysis
- Performance modeling and prediction
- Emerging accelerator architectures (dataflow, neuromorphic, etc.)

Programming Models and Development Tools
- High-level programming models (OpenMP, OpenACC, SYCL, OneAPI, Kokkos, Raja)
- Low-level programming interfaces (OpenCL, CUDA)
- Debugging and profiling tools
- Performance optimization and autotuning frameworks
- Testing and verification methods for heterogeneous systems
- Workload characterization tools
- Benchmarking suites and methodologies

Heterogeneous System Software and Runtime Systems
- Compiler optimizations for heterogeneous systems
- Runtime systems and resource management
- Operating system support for heterogeneous computing
- Virtualization and containerization for heterogeneous systems
- Task scheduling and load balancing
- Memory management and data movement optimization
- System-level monitoring and telemetry
- Integration of heterogeneous components and interfaces
- Communication software/middleware for heterogeneous systems
 
 
==== Paper Tracks and Submission Guidelines ====
 
There are two paper tracks available for AsHES 2025:
1) Full paper track (10 pages including citations).
2) Short paper track (maximum of 4 pages including citations); meant
to highlight early investigations of innovative ideas.
