WDDSA @ MICRO 2024

3nd Workshop on Democratizing Domain-Specific Accelerators (WDDSA 2024)
Co-located with MICRO 2024
Austin, Texas, US
3rd November 2024

We welcome in-progress, published, and industry work about democratizing hardware accelerators for broader applications. We also encourage submissions in general on DSAs and their infrastructure. This workshop is interested in but is not limited to the following topics.

1. Novel use cases of an accelerator where applications are outside accelerators’ original application domains
2. Systems, programming, and software for democratizing domain-specific accelerators.
3. Architectural support for democratizing domain-specific accelerators.
4. Performance/power/energy evaluation/analysis of democratizing domain-specific accelerators
5. Implications to future “democratized” accelerator design.

This workshop invites three types of presentations.

1. Track 1: Original research papers. WDDSA welcomes papers on projects working on innovative ideas with preliminary results. WDDSA works together with IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (IEEE CAL) to invite top papers in this track to publish in IEEE CAL.
2. Track 2: Published research papers with artifacts available. The submission can be based on an already published work (published within 12 months upon the submission deadline). WDDSA provides a platform for these papers to promote their artifacts, allowing the community to use and extend existing projects. The presentation may consider including a live demo.
3. Track 3: Industry insights. WDDSA also welcomes papers on industry projects, encouraging the industry to have conversations with the academia.
