Workshop on
Energy-efficient Networks of Computers (E2NC): from the Chip to the Cloud
Collocated with International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference, 2018
Scope:
As part of the IEEE International Green and Sustainable Computing conference, a special workshop termed Energy-efficient Networks of Computers: from the Chip to the Cloud (E2NC) will be organized to address various design aspects of power efficient and dependable computing infrastructures from the perspective of the interconnection networks. Computing machinery around the world consumes staggering amounts of energy. The increasing power consumption of Integrated Circuits has plagued the semiconductor industry for years. Soaring power dissipations have proved to be the limiting factor for increase in performance. Complex digital integrated circuits consisting of multiple components or cores form the underlying hardware for these massive computing infrastructures. Warehouse-scale computers powered by such multicore chips have applications in several important domains ranging from scientific applications like weather or economic forecasting, astronomical data analysis, bioinformatics applications, to even consumer electronics. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and General Purpose GPUs (GPGPUs) and heterogeneous systems with CPUs, GPUs, memories, and programmable fabrics provide the computational backbone for not only graphics-based applications but many data parallel tasks as well. The Internet of Things (IoT) with billions of connected devices pose new challenges to the problem of connectivity and scale. All these computing infrastructures consist of interconnected or networked components. The role of the interconnection therefore becomes paramount in determining the performance and efficiency of these hardware. In addition, the reliability and security of these networked computing modules will also determine their sustainability and suitability in the near and distant future. This workshop will encompass a broad range of topics related to power efficiency and dependability of modern interconnected computing machinery at various scales from multicore chips to IoT, datacenters, and the cloud. Its objective is to facilitate exchange of valuable information and ideas among researchers and practitioners. The workshop will consist of invited presentations and peer-reviewed research papers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- EnergyEfficient Networks-on-Chips
- EnergyEfficient Interconnections for Multi-Chip Systems such as Servers
- EnergyEfficiency in IoT Devices
- Emerging Interconnect Technologies
- EnergyEfficiency of Datacenter Networks
- PowerEfficient HPCs/Datacenters
- EnergyEfficient Sensor Networks
- LowOverhead Security and DoS Issues for Interconnection Networks
- TemperatureAware Methodologies to Improve Reliability and Sustainability of Computing Infrastructure
- Power/Energy Efficiency of GPU or Heterogeneous Systems
Author Information:
Full papers following the guidelines of the International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference (IGSCC) are sought. All papers should be submitted electronically (in PDF format) using the instructions at the E2NC website. All submitted/invited manuscripts will be reviewed and evaluated on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, interest, and relevance to the scope of the workshop.
Papers presented at the workshop will be published in the official conference proceedings (through IEEE Digital Library-IEEE Xplore) contingent on two conditions: (1) One author of each accepted paper must register for the conference at the time of the submission of the accepted final manuscript; and (2) One of the authors must appear to present the paper at the workshop. Please note that each accepted workshop paper will require a full IGSCC registration at the IEEE member or non-member rate (NOT student rate). There will be no separate workshop-only registration.
