32nd International Workshop
on Logic & Synthesis

June 5 – 6, 2023

EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

Our sponsors

              

The International Workshop on Logic and Synthesis is the premier forum for research in synthesis, optimization, and verification of integrated circuits and systems. Research on logic synthesis for emerging technologies and for novel computing platforms, such as nanoscale systems and biological systems, is also strongly encouraged. The workshop encourages early dissemination of ideas and results. The workshop accepts complete papers highlighting important new problems in the early stages of development, without providing complete solutions. The emphasis is on novelty and intellectual rigor.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: hardware synthesis and optimization; software synthesis; hardware/software co-synthesis; power and timing analysis; testing, validation and verification; synthesis for reconfigurable architectures; hardware compilation for domain-specific languages; design experiences. Submissions on modeling, analysis, and synthesis for emerging technologies and platforms are particularly encouraged.

The workshop format includes paper presentations, posters, invited talks, social gatherings, and recreational activities. Accepted papers are distributed exclusively to IWLS participants.

IWLS 2023 Programming Contest Call for Contest

It has been recently observed that the cost of silicon wafers has started to grow steeply in the 3rd quarter of 2021. Please note the hockey stick shape of the second graph here https://morethanmoore.substack.com/p/tsmc-financial-year-2022 As a result, the design area contributes more to the design cost, and there is increasing interest in high-effort area optimization methods, which is the topic of this year’s IWLS Programming Contest.
