NoCArc 2021
14th International Workshop on Network on Chip Architectures
October 22, 2021 - Global Online Event (Broadcast from Athens, Greece)
To be held in conjunction with the 54th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture®
GENERAL INFORMATION
It is well recognized that on-chip communication plays a dominant role in determining the overall performance, reliability, and energy figures in many-core architectures. Today, virtually all large-scale chips are designed on the basis of the Network-on-Chip (NoC). NoCs are now part of a large number of products that we use every day and this is proof that the NoC paradigm is scalable and can be adapted to support various computational paradigms, ranging from multiprocessing to reconfigurable computing and the emerging area of neuromorphic computing. The goal of the NoCArc workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions related to the design and implementation of many-core architectures based on the NoC paradigm.
AREAS OF INTEREST
The workshop will focus on issues related to design, analysis, and testing of on-chip networks. The topics of specific interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
NoC Architecture and Implementation
- Topologies, routing, and flow control
- Managing QoS
- Reliability issues
- Security issues
- Design methodologies and tools
NoC at System-level
- Design of memory subsystem
- NoC support for memory and cache access
- OS support for NoCs
- Programming models including shared memory, message passing, and novel programming models
- Large-scale systems (datacenters and supercomputers) with NoC-based systems as building blocks
NoC Applications
- Mapping of applications onto NoCs
- Real and industrial NoC case studies
- NoCs for FPGAs, structured ASICs, CMPs and MPSoCs
- NoC designs for heterogeneous systems
NoC Analysis, Optimization, and Verification
- Power, energy and thermal issues
- Benchmarking and experience with NoC-based systems
- Modeling, simulation, and synthesis
- Verification, debug and test of
- Metrics and benchmarks
Emerging NoC Technologies
- Wireless, Optical, and RF
- NoCs for 3D and 2.5D packages
- Approximate computing for NoC and NoC-based systems
- Chip-to-Chip Interconnects
Machine Learning (ML) for NoC-based systems
- Novel interconnection for machine learning systems
- Memory access for the NoC-based machine learning system
- NoC-based machine learning algorithm design
Besides regular papers, papers describing work in progress or incomplete but sound new innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.
