iMACAW @ DAC 2023

An In-Memory Architectures and Computing Applications Workshop

The iMACAW aims at providing a forum to discuss In-Memory-Computing as an alternative architecture and its applications. We take a cross-technology approach covering works that use SRAM, DRAM, FLASH, RRAM, PCM, MRAM, and FeFET as their memory technology. The workshop features ten renowned speakers from academia and industry, plus a limited selection of best submissions.

Program

The proposed format for the workshop is a full-day workshop featuring:

High-Profile Speakers

Ten renowned scientists from academia and industry present their latest work

Panel Discussions

Two panel discussions on the latest challenges and the future of in-memory computing

Interactive Sessions

A limited selection of submissions will present their recent work to the attendees as elevator pitches and posters
