iMACAW @ DAC 2025

An In-Memory Architectures and Computing Applications Workshop

The iMACAW aims at providing a forum to discuss In-Memory-Computing as an alternative architecture and its applications. We take a cross-technology approach covering works that use SRAM, DRAM, FLASH, RRAM, PCM, MRAM, and FeFET as their memory technology. The workshop features renowned speakers from academia and industry, plus a limited selection of best submissions.

Location: The Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, CA, USA
Date and Time: Jun/22/2025, 9 am to 12:30 pm

Program

The proposed format for the workshop is a full-day workshop featuring:

High-Profile Speakers

Renowned scientists from academia and industry present their latest work
