Introduction

Abstract

In January 2007, the second edition in the series of International Conferences on High-Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC’2007) was held in Ghent, Belgium. We were fortunate to attract around 70 submissions of which only 19 were selected for presentation. Among these, we asked the authors of the five most highly rated contributions to make extended versions of them. They all accepted to do that and their articles appear in this section of the second volume.
