The Chair for Compiler Construction hosted the first IEEE Cross-disciplinary Conference on Memory-Centric Computing (CCMCC), held on October 8-10, 2025, in Dresden. Our group was represented by Prof. Jeronimo Castrillon, Asif Ali Khan, Joao Paulo Cardoso De Lima, Anderson Faustino, and Robert Khasanov and Alexander Kusnezoff, with valuable organizational support from Conny Okuma. It was a pleasure to contribute to the event as part of the organizing team, serving as Local Organizing Chair and Finance Chair. During the CCMCC, Joao Paulo presented our paper titled "Efficient In-Memory Acceleration of Sparse Block Diagonal LLMs" .The work introduces an automated framework with novel mapping and scheduling strategies to accelerate sparse LLM inference on compute-in-memory accelerators by exploiting block-diagonal sparsity.

Many thanks to Prof. Nima TaheriNejad, the General Chair, and to everyone who contributed to making this first edition a success. We are already looking forward to the next CCMCC, which will take place in Lyon, France, in October 2026.
