HiRES Workshop at HiPEAC 2014

CISTER researcher Luis Miguel Pinho co-organized the 2nd Workshop on High-performance and Real-time Embedded Systems (HiRES 2014) held in conjunction with the 9th International Conference on High-Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC 2014).

The workshop (which occurred on January 20, 2014, in Vienna, Austria) brought together researchers and engineers in the confluence of high-performance, embedded and real-time systems for a variety of application domains. As usual, the event was fruitful with discussions on the challenges and research directions that should be tackled by the community.

The program counted with one keynote from Thorbjörn Jemander, Vision Software Architect at Autoliv Electronics (Sweden), presenting a perspective on the challenges of HPC techniques when applied to automotive critical systems. Additionally there were two sessions of technical papers on topics such as many-cores, mixed-criticality and parallelization, and a session on presentations from European R&D projects on the area. The workshop was a success, doubling the number of participants from the previous edition, and almost doubling the number of submitted papers.
