Prof. Castrillon and Asif Ali Khan represented the CC Chair at the prestigious International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS) 2024, held in San Diego, USA from April 27th till May 1st, 2024. Asif presented our research article titled "C4CAM: A compilation framework for CAM-based accelerators". C4CAM is an MLIR-based high-level compilation framework for content-addressable memories (CAMs) that makes CAM devices accessible to non-experts, by bridging the abstraction gap between high-level programming frameworks and low-level device API calls supported by CAM devices. This framework is developed in close collaboration with CAM device experts at the University of Notre Dame, namely Prof. X. Sharon Hu and her research group.

The conference was attended by over 800 researchers and experts from both academia and industry. The beautiful weather in La Jolla and the vibrant ambiance at San Diego's USS Midway Museum provided a perfect environment for networking, exchanging thoughts and ideas, and engaging in discussions with fellow experts in the field.
