FPGA 2027 (35th ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays)
by ACM SIGDA
The research symposium on FPGA architecture, tools and FPGA-based accelerators for AI and LLMs
About This Event
FPGA 2027, the 35th ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, takes place March 14 to 16, 2027 in Seaside, California. ISFPGA is the main research venue for FPGA technology. Its call for papers covers FPGA and spatial architecture design, circuit design, CAD algorithms, high-level synthesis and domain-specific languages, and FPGA-based accelerators for AI and machine learning, explicitly including large language models. Grace Zgheib of Altera is General Chair and Suhaib Fahmy of KAUST is Program Chair. Accepted papers appear in the ACM Digital Library, and the symposium runs an industry track for work from companies.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓Hardware and accelerator architects
- ✓AI infrastructure engineers
- ✓FPGA and chip design engineers
- ✓EDA and CAD tool developers
- ✓Computer architecture researchers
- ✓CTOs evaluating custom inference hardware
Why Attend
Teams weighing GPUs against FPGAs or custom silicon for inference, especially for low-latency or power-limited LLM workloads, get a direct view of what reconfigurable hardware can do this year. The FPGA 2027 program puts architecture, compiler and accelerator research next to industry papers, so an infrastructure leader can judge which approaches are close to deployable and talk with the Altera, academic and startup engineers building them.
Event Features
- ✓Call for papers area: FPGA-based accelerators for AI/ML algorithms, including large language models
- ✓Call for papers area: FPGA and spatial architecture design
- ✓Call for papers area: high-level synthesis and domain-specific languages
- ✓Call for papers area: CAD algorithms and tools
- ✓Industry track for corporate submissions
- ✓Long papers (10 pages) and short papers (6 pages), published in the ACM Digital Library
What Makes This Unique
- ★Thirty-fifth edition of the long-running research venue for FPGA technology, with peer-reviewed long and short papers
- ★The 2027 call names FPGA-based accelerators for AI/ML algorithms such as large language models as a solicited topic
- ★Runs an industry track next to the research track, with General Chair Grace Zgheib coming from Altera
- ★Uses double-blind review and emphasizes artifact evaluation
