HiPEAC 2025 : High Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers

The HiPEAC conference is the premier European forum for experts in computer architecture, programming models, compilers, and operating systems for general-purpose, embedded, and cyber-physical systems. Areas of focus and integration include safety-critical dependencies, cybersecurity, energy efficiency, and machine learning.

The HiPEAC 2025 conference will take place in Barcelona, Spain. Associated workshops, tutorials, special sessions, several large poster sessions, and an industrial exhibition, will run in parallel with the conference.

HiPEAC has been pioneering the journal-first publication model. Journal-first means that the manuscript selection process for the conference is outsourced to a journal (ACM TACO). Manuscripts can be submitted to the journal at any time throughout the year as regular journal submissions. For all manuscripts submitted before June 1, 2024, ACM TACO guarantees that the final decision (including two rounds of revision) will be communicated before November 15.

All authors of original work papers accepted in the journal between November 15, 2023, and November 15, 2024, will get an invitation to present their work during the paper track of the HiPEAC conference. There are no conference proceedings published.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Processor, memory, and storage systems architecture
Parallel, multi-core and heterogeneous systems
Interconnection networks
Architectural support for programming productivity
Power, performance and implementation efficient designs
Reliability and real-time support in processors, compilers and run-time systems
Application-specific processors, accelerators and reconfigurable processors
Architecture and programming environments for GPU-based computing
Simulation and methodology
Architectural and run-time support for programming languages
Programming models, frameworks and environments for exploiting parallelism
Compiler techniques
Feedback-directed optimization
Program characterization and analysis techniques
Dynamic compilation, adaptive execution, and continuous profiling/optimization
Binary translation/optimization
Code size/memory footprint optimizations
Manuscripts can be submitted continuously. Manuscripts submitted before June 1, 2024 will get an invitation for HiPEAC 2025, if accepted. Manuscripts submitted after June 1, 2024 will be invited for HiPEAC 2026, if accepted.

Submit your best work as soon as it is ready to go. We will work hard to get back to you in 2 months with your reviews.

Do you know ACM TACO 2.0?
Over the last three years ACM TACO has optimized its internal review processes. Today, the average turnaround time from submission to first response is 46 days and 95% of the manuscripts get a response within 2 months. For revised manuscripts, the review process goes even faster. In 2013, most accepted manuscripts went through two rounds of reviews to reach a final decision only 5 months after submission. Accepted manuscripts are immediately uploaded in the ACM digital library. Hence, excellent manuscripts can make it from submission to publication in about three months; papers needing a major revision are published after 6 months. We call this “ACM TACO 2.0”.


ACM TACO 2.0 now has a review cycle and an acceptance rate which is competitive with the best ACM conferences, but without the inconvenient non-negotiable submission deadlines, and with the advantage of being able to revise a paper based on the detailed review reports by carefully selected reviewers, and of being published as soon as it is accepted. On top of that, authors of original work papers get an open invitation to present their paper at the yearly HiPEAC conference, which is the premier European network event on topics central to ACM TACO, attended by more than 500 scientists.
