Congratulations!
Our paper, titled “Flattening-based Mapping of Imperfect Loop Nests for CGRAs” by Jongeun Lee, Seongseok Seo, Hongsik Lee, and Hyeon Uk Sim, is accepted to this year’s CODES+ISSS (International Conference on Hardware-Software Codesign and System Synthesis).
CODES+ISSS is is a premier conference for embedded systems and hardware software co-design research, and held as part of ESWEEK (Embedded Systems Week) event, which also includes CASES (International Conference on Compilers, Architecture, and Synthesis for Embedded Systems) and EMSOFT (International Conference on Embedded Software), along with a host of workshops and symposia. Congratulations again to those who did the hard work!
Congratulations!
Our paper titled “Improving Performance of Loops on DIAM-based VLIW Architectures” in collaboration with SNU, was accepted for this year’s LCTES (Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems), a premiere conference on compilation for embedded systems. The conference will be held in Edinburgh, UK, in June.
First I admit I myself am not a good questioner, especially in large lectures.
But I do realize the importance of asking questions as a means of learning and doing research, and encourage my students to do so (how?).
Here is a good article that may motivate you in that direction (see the bottom of the exerpt). This is on Leslie Lamport, this year’s Turing Award winner.

Our first paper on runtime binary translation is accepted to the 21st Reconfigurable Architecture Workshop (RAW 2014), held in Phoenix, Arizona, May 19~20, 2014. The conference is associated with the 28th Annual International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2014). Congratulations to Toan and others who have contributed to this paper!


Hongsik Lee
Hongsik Lee entered UNIST in March, 2014. He worked on the problem of model-driven application mapping for CGRA processors resulting in a publication in DAC.
In 2016 he joined Busan Transportation Corporation (Humetro), Busan, Korea, in the Department of Signal & Communication as a design engineer.

Dong Nguyen
Dong Nguyen entered UNIST in March, 2014. He has co-authored many papers in the area of deep learning and compiler, including one he presented as the first author in the International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO), held in Barcelona, March 2016.

Yeonghun with Dongbu HiTek VP
Our paper titled “Selective Execution of Conditional Statements for CGRAs” by Yeonghun Jeong, Seongseok Seo, and Jongeun Lee is awarded Dongbu HiTek Best Paper Award today at the 21st Korean Conference on Semiconductors (KCS).
The Best Paper Award at KCS is very competitive and given to few select papers (about 10) out of 263 accepted papers/posters. With generous prize money, the award certainly carries a high prestige. 🙂
Congratulations again to those who co-authored the paper!
