The first two editions of the HiPEAC conference series in Barcelona (2005) and Ghent (2007) have really demonstrated that the topics covered by HiPEAC attract a lot of interest. In the 2007 conference, about 200 people attended the conference and its satellite events. The third HiPEAC conference was held in Goteborg, the second largest city in Sweden.The offerings of this conference were rich and diverse. We offered attendees a set of four workshops on topics that are all central to the HiPEAC roadmap: multi-cores, compiler optimizations, reconfigurable computing, and interconnection networks. Additionally, a tutorial on the Sunflower Toolsuite was offered.
