17th ACACES International Summer School
September 12, 2021, 14:00 – September 18, 2021, 17:00
The 17th International Summer School on Advanced Computer Architecture and Compilation for High-Performance and Embedded Systems takes place in Fiuggi, Italy from Sunday 12 – Saturday 18 September 2021 https://www.hipeac.net/acaces/2021/
The ACACES Summer School is a one-week summer school for computer architects and tool builders working in the field of embedded systems, high performance computer architecture, and compilation. The school aims at the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge and the promotion of international contacts among scientists from academia and industry. A distinguishing feature of this Summer School is its broad scope ranging from low-level technological issues to advanced compilation techniques and entrepreneurship. In the design of modern computer systems one has to be knowledgeable about architecture as well as about the quality of the code, and how to improve it. This summer school offers the ideal mix of the two worlds, both at the entry level and at the most advanced level.
The ACACES Summer School is organized by the HiPEAC Network (www.HiPEAC.net) in collaboration with the TETRAMAX Innovation Action (www.tetramax.eu), but it is open to everybody. However, previous training and/or experience in computer science as well as a background in computer architecture or compilation is indispensable. In order to have a good mix of senior and junior participants, the school also encourages senior researchers and professors to participate.
The Summer School will take place in Fiuggi, a small town near Rome, Italy. Students and lecturers will be accommodated in private hotel rooms with standard hotel accommodation. There will be many opportunities for interaction among the participants, both in and out of the classrooms, during the meals, at the bar or at the swimming pool, in the fitness room, in the spa and in the city. Long after-the-lecture discussions are one of the major assets of this summer school. You will remember this summer school for a long time.
Obviously, we will have to comply with all the sanitary rules imposed by the Italian government in September. The COVID-19 situation will hopefully be sufficiently contained to allow the school to operate normally.

Monday evening 13 September: Invited talk by Giuseppe Gentile, IngeniArs Wednesday afternoon: Poster session Friday evening: Farewell dinner
Certificate
All participants will receive a certificate of attendance with a description of the courses taken. Some universities will accept this certificate in their PhD program.
Poster Session
The poster session on Wednesday afternoon will provide an ideal opportunity for students to present their own work in progress and get feedback from senior researchers and fellow students, and can be the beginning of future collaboration. A printed booklet (with ISBN number) with a 1 to 4-page abstract per poster will be distributed to all summer school participants.
Admission
To stimulate maximum interaction between lecturers and participants, the steering committee of the Summer School will limit the attendance to about 200 participants. We aim for a 50/50 balance between PhD students and senior attendants.
