About us

The International Symposium on Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies (HEART) is a forum to present and discuss new research on computing systems utilizing acceleration technology. The main theme of HEART is achieving high efficiency through accelerators, tailored hardware architectures and new methods for computing systems, which are of utmost importance across a wide spectrum of systems. This includes high-performance computing and data centers, as well as the mobile and IoT space.
