Welcome to OSCAR 2024!

OSCAR 2024 is the third edition of a new workshop on open-source hardware which addresses the wide variety of challenges encountered by both hardware and software engineers in dealing with the increasing heterogeneity of next-generation computer architectures. By providing a venue which brings together researchers from academia, industry and government labs, OSCAR promotes a collaborative approach to foster the efforts of the open-source hardware community in this direction.

The topics of interest of the OSCAR workshop include, but are not limited to: 
• Open-source processors (CPU, GPU, AI processors…) 
• Open-source accelerators (programmable, configurable, fixed-function…) 
• Open-source components (e.g., caches, buses, network-on-chip, peripherals, sensors…) 
• Software aspects of heterogeneous component integration 
• Security, safety, reliability and verification of open-source architectures and components 
• CAD tools and methodologies for design and integration of open-source components 
• Full-system simulation of open-source architectures 
• Infrastructures specialized for FPGA prototyping or chip designs of open-source architectures 
• Design experiences with the use of open-source components, tools, and platforms 
• Discussion of case studies, applications that benefit from open-source architecture research

There will be a mix of invited talks and presentations selected from the submissions to the call for participation available . Please, refer to the following timeline for the submission process:
