The "HiPEAC Summer School" is a one week summer school for computer architects and compiler builders working in the field of high performance computer architecture and compilation for embedded systems. The school aims at the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge and the promotion of international contacts among scientists from academia and industry.
A distinguishing feature of this Summer School is its broad scope ranging from low level technological issues to advanced compilation techniques. In the design of modern computer systems one has to be knowledgeable about architecture as well as about the quality of the code, and how to improve it. This summer school offers the ideal mix of the two worlds – both at the entry level and at the most advanced level
The challenges faced by the high-performance general-purpose and embedded worlds are converging. The embedded market evolves rapidly, quickly expanding the capabilities of new devices, and the requirements of these new applications demand technologies that not long ago were in the realm of high-performance computing. Conversely, the energy and cost constraints typical of the embedded world are now also among the most important design criteria for general purpose computing systems. Because performance no longer automatically increases with advances in semiconductor technology, it has become essential to discover new paths to optimize performance, energy and cost across software and hardware.
Welcome to the renewed HiPEAC-website. After two years, it was time to give the website a new look-and-feel. With almost 250 visitors per day our website is one of the main means of information.
Together with the modern look the website has received a new structure that reflects the network better, and makes it easier to find what you are looking for.
Deadline: June 16, 2009 for submission, and June 26 for notification of acceptance.
The 5th HiPEAC Conference (HiPEAC 2010) solicits proposals for workshops and tutorials to be organized in conjunction with the main conference. We welcome proposals on topics related to all aspects of research and development, in the field of high performance computer architecture and compilation for embedded systems, as well as general purpose research which is becoming increasingly relevant to the embedded domain.
BSC-DAC-UPC invite you to attend online the following talk:
Title: Pinhole Processing in the Multicore and Post-Multicore Eras
Speaker: Doug Burger (Computer Architecture Group at Microsoft Research)
Date: Mon 20, 11:00 (CET)

If you would like to ask questions to the speaker, please send an e-mail to seminar@hipeac.ac.upc.edu
I would like to announce the following seminar on the internals of our
Mercurium compilation infrastructure, that we will hold this Monday, March
9th, 10:00 to 18:30 in Barcelona.
The lessons will be broadcast over the Internet, and we will also
record them, so if somebody in your groups is interested in
either attending live over the Internet or getting a copy of the recorded
sessions, please send him/her the following information.
HiPEAC Computing Systems Week June 2-4 2009, Infineon, Munich, Germany
We are glad to announce that the “HiPEAC Computing Systems Week” will be hosted by Infineon from June 2nd to June 4th, 2009.
This week will include the following co-located events:
The 7th HiPEAC industrial workshop, on June 2nd. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to investigate the challenges, techniques, tools and requirements of multi-core architectures in embedded systems, especially in the automotive, aerospace, and security industry.
The HiPEAC Cluster Meetings will take place on June 3rd and 4th.
If you would like to ask questions to the speaker, please send an e-mail to seminar@hipeac.ac.upc.edu

Abstract
A key challenge in the field of computer architecture is "balanced" system
design, in which computational capability is well-adjusted to the supply of
data. In both academe and industry, computer architects are increasingly
