Connect-6 Design Contest

March 7th, 2012 Comments off

As part of the 2012 International Conference on Field Programming Technology, there will be a design contest for the best/fastest Connect-6 game designs.

For more details see website: http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~janders/FPT_2011_competition/ (it is for the previous year, but this year’s rules will be similar)

또 한 가지 중요한 정보는 이 국제 대회를 준비하기 위하여 국내 대회를 개최할 예정입니다. 국내에서 처음으로 개최되는 대회이고 아직 공식 발표된 것이 아니기 때문에 누구든지 지금부터라도 준비하면 괜찮은 결과를 얻을 수 있습니다. 또 처음 개최되는 대회라서 참여를 독려하기 위해 많은 상이 마련되어 있는 것으로 알고 있습니다. 관심 있는 학생은 문의바랍니다.

Efficient Writing, Effective Work

January 5th, 2012 Comments off

Here are some of Crawford’s tips for maximizing writing work habits:

  • Create a routine
  • Minimize distractions
  • Controlled daydreaming
  • Beware of empty praise or destructive criticism
  • Open your avenues of opportunity

I agree that it’s more of a habit than of one’s ability or anything else.

ACM TACO (HiPEAC 2012) paper accepted!

November 23rd, 2011 Comments off

This time, HiPEAC tries a new publication model. Instead of first publishing your paper in a conference, they do a journal review process for all submitted papers, and those accepted papers will have a chance to get presented in a conference, in addition to the journal publication. Our paper on nested loop compilation for reconfigurable architectures, was accepted for this journal issue. Congrats to those involved in this work!

End of Moore’s Law (?)

November 1st, 2011 Comments off

I have been thinking of the implications of the possible “End of Moore’s Law”. Read a related article, Is Moore’s Party Over?, in Comm of ACM.

Whether the end of Moore’s law is near is a topic of active debate, so I don’t want to delve into that. But most people will agree that things are slowing down when it comes to computing.

If Moore’s law is over, will even the number of cores be flattened? What would that mean to computer scientists, engineers, programmers, students, and teachers? Where will big innovations be made if it’s not in exponential performance growth?

Month of the Most Deadlines

September 8th, 2011 Comments off

Which month has the greatest number of deadlines for paper submission to conferences in our field? Well, you need to check all the conference deadlines, which is by no means an easy task, but these days it seems that September is definitely in the top class. In comparison, October/November seems to have far less. So what’s in September? DATE, CGO, IPDPS (October 1, so practically September), and I just received C4P for PECCS. Lesson? Summer is perhaps the best season to concentrate on conference papers…
