Work-in-Progress/Posters Co-Chairs

Zhichao Cao, *Arizona State University*
Wen Xia, *Harbin Institute of Technology*
Overview

We invite submissions to the FAST '26 Poster and Work-in-Progress Reports
(WiPs) sessions. You can submit a poster, a WiP, or both. Posters will be
presented during the conference reception. WiPs will be presented during a
session, with each given roughly five minutes.

   - WiP submission: If you are requesting to present a WiP, please submit
   a one-page abstract, not including references.
   - Poster submission: If you are requesting to present a poster, please
   submit a one-page abstract, not including references, and a one-page draft
   of the poster.
   - WiP & Poster submission: If you are requesting to present a poster and
   WiP, please submit a one-page abstract, not including references, and a
   one-page draft of the poster.

We are requesting poster drafts to ensure their quality and also to allow
us to provide feedback to poster presenters.
Submission Instructions

Submit your abstract and/or poster drafts in PDF format via the Posters and
WiPs submission system <https://fast26wipsposters.usenix.hotcrp.com/>. Do
not email submissions. Abstracts should not be anonymized: include all
information (title, author names and affiliations, text, and citations).
Abstracts should follow USENIX's format and guidelines: typeset in
two-column format in 10-point Times Roman type on 12-point leading
(single-spaced), with the text block being no more than 7" wide by 9" deep.
Submissions violating these guidelines will be rejected without review.
Those whose abstract is accepted for a poster presentation will be asked to
bring their own color poster of dimension 3'x4' full-size. USENIX will
provide easels and boards for you to display your poster.

Note that all authors of accepted papers are expected to present a poster
as well. However, authors of accepted papers do not need to submit an
abstract or a draft of their poster. If you have any questions, please
email fast26wips_posters at usenix.org.

> **Deep memory hierarchies**: Design and analysis of memory hierarchies
> with SRAM, DRAM, Flash/SSD, and HDD technologies; NUMA architectures; cache
> coherence strategies; novel memory systems such as phase-change RAM,
> magnetic (e.g., STT) RAM, 3D Xpoint/crossbars, and memristors.

> This year we wish to focus on and expand submissions and presentations in
> the following "hot topics" areas; therefore, we especially invite
> submissions in the following four areas:
>
> **Heterogeneous Integration of Quantum Computing**: Design, exploration,
> and analysis of architectures and software frameworks enabling
> heterogeneous integration of classical computing and quantum computing
> (e.g., heterogeneous quantum computers, error correction, heterogeneous
> applications that use both classical and quantum logic, benchmarks for
> heterogeneous quantum computers).
>
> **Heterogeneity and Interoperability in Software & Data Systems**: Design,
> exploration, and analysis of architectures and software frameworks for
> interoperability in software and data systems (e.g., semantic frameworks,

> (DL)**: Design, exploration, benchmarking, and analysis of accelerators and
> software frameworks for ML and DL applications on heterogeneous computing
> systems.

> designers to include all relevant information -- such as data flow and
