NSF Student Travel Grant for 2020 IEEE International Symposium On Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM 2020)

2020年IEEE现场可编程定制计算机（FCCM）国际研讨会将于2020年5月3日至5月6日在阿肯色州费耶特维尔举行。 FCCM是一个论坛，用于展示和讨论与计算相关的新研究，利用现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）和其他可重构硬件的独特功能和能力，开发架构，工具，编程模型和应用程序。该会议由多个技术会议、研讨会、小组讨论和演示之夜组成，公司、研究小组和学生将展示该领域的最新发展。 旅费赠款将使15名研究生和本科生能够参加会议，他们将从参加这次会议中受益匪浅，但旅费有限。除了参加技术会议和了解FPGA领域的最新发展外，学生还将受益于与该领域领先的研究人员，公司和机构的互动。这可以导致实习和学生和参与公司之间的充分就业机会。将优先考虑首次与会者，特别是那些寻求研究主题和处于制定研究议程早期阶段的与会者。该奖项的一部分将专门用于代表性不足的群体，为他们进行大量的招聘工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2020 IEEE International Symposium On Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machine (FCCM) will be held in Fayetteville AR from May 03 to May 06, 2020. FCCM is a forum for presenting and discussing new research related to computing that exploits the unique features and capabilities of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other reconfigurable hardware, development on architectures, tools, programming models and applications. The conference is organized over multiple technical sessions, workshops, panels and a demo night where companies, research groups and students present the latest development in the field. Travel grants will make possible the participation of 15 graduate and undergraduate students who will substantially benefit from attending this conference but have limited travel funds. Besides attending technical sessions and learning about latest developments in the field of FPGA, students will benefit from interaction with leading researchers, companies and institutions in the field. This can lead to Internships and full employment opportunities between students and participating companies. Priority will be given to first time attendees, especially those seeking research topics and in the early stages of developing their research agendas. A portion of the award will be devoted to under-represented groups for which substantial recruitment efforts will be undertaken.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
