This special issue attempts to create a platform to foster new ideas and technical insights in the design and analysis of high-performance computing and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In particular, we would like to focus on issues on System-on-Chip (SoC) and Network-on-Chip (NoC) designs, multi-core computing and programming, reconfigurable computing, and nanocomputers. We invite submissions of regular papers with unpublished original results and by invitation, the revised and extended version of the papers presented in the High-Performance Computing Architectures (HPCA) Track at the 5th International Conference on Information Technology: New Generation (ITNG). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

  • SoC and NoC architectures
  • Multi-core processor architectures
  • Application modeling and mapping schemes for multi-core/SoC systems
  • Multi-core computing and programming techniques 
  • Power-efficient architectures and techniques for multi-core/SoC systems
  • Embedded and reconfigurable computing systems
  • Nanocomputers and nano-circuits
  • Secure and reliable processor designs
  • Advanced computer architectures for general and application-specific enhancement
  • Parallel computer architectures
  • Application-specific processor/architecture designs
  • Cache and memory systems
  • High-performance I/O systems
  • Interconnect and network interface architectures
  • Microarchitecture design techniques: instruction-level parallelism, pipelining, caching, branch prediction, multithreading
  • Computer arithmetic
  • Innovative hardware/software trade-offs
  • Modeling and performance analysis
  • Complier designs
  • Tools and methodology for architecture designs
  • Verification and testing techniques
