Message from the Workshop Co-Chairs

摘要

It is a pleasure for us to inaugurate the First International Workshop on Highly-Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies (HEART) in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan together with the 24th International Conference on Supercomputing. Supercomputing using cost-efficient accelerators, such as high-end field-programmable gate arrays, general-purpose graphics processing units, the Cell Broadband Engine and other specialized architectures, has become a major stream in high performance computing.
