 +===== The Third Workshop on the Intersections of Computer Architecture and Reconfigurable Logic (CARL 2013), Davis, California - Saturday, December 7, 2013, Co-located with MICRO-46 ======
 +
 +The Workshop on the Intersections of Computer Architecture and Reconfigurable Logic (CARL) is a new forum for presenting FPGA and reconfigurable logic research relevant to a computer architecture audience. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in reconfigurable computing, driven by the need for greater computing performance and, at the same time, better power and energy efficiency. Reconfigurable computing is a key technology candidate to efficiently leverage exponential device scaling beyond current multicore processors.
 +
 +This full-day workshop will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2013, co-located with MICRO-46 in Davis, CA.
 +
 +
 +====== Program ======
 +
 +Two categories of submissions were solicited for review, (1) new unpublished manuscripts and (2) audience-appropriate revisions of papers already published or under review outside of traditional computer architecture forums. (See [[:Home#Call_For_Papers|Call for Papers]] below.) Each 4~6-page submission was assigned to 4~5 members of the program committee for review. (Submissions selected for presentation at CARL are not published.)
 +In addition, the program include a keynote presentation by Peter Hofstee (IBM Austin Research) and an invited talk by Zhiru Zhang (Cornell).
 +
 + The final program include also invited talks.

 +======Call for Papers======
 +
 +**Research Papers.** We invite research papers from all areas of FPGA and reconfigurable logic that impact the computer architecture community.  Major areas of interests include, but are not limited to:
 +
 +  * New FPGA architectures and reconfigurable fabric designed to support computing
 +  * Heterogeneous computing processors and systems that incorporate reconfigurable logic
 +  * Computation models and programming tools for reconfigurable and heterogeneous computing
 +  * State-of-the-art (ready-for-use) reconfigurable computing platforms and infrastructure
 +  * Algorithms and applications for reconfigurable computing (including FPGA-based prototyping and simulation of computer systems)
 +  * Evaluations of reconfigurable computing in terms of performance, power/energy, flexibility and cost, especially in comparison to other hardware paradigms (multicore, GPU, ASICs, etc.).
 +
 +We will accept submissions in two categories:  (1) new unpublished manuscripts (okay if under review by a conference of a later date), and (2) audience-appropriate revisions of papers already published outside of traditional computer architecture forums (ISCA, MICRO, HPCA, PACT, etc.).  Papers selected for presentations will not be published in any formal proceedings.
 +
 +A submission should be 4~6 pages in double-column format.  The review process is not blind; please include authors' names and affiliations.  Please clearly indicate whether a submission is category 1 or 2 in the header area of the submission.  If category 2, the source materials must be explicitly introduced in both the abstract and introduction.
