CALL FOR PAPERS
Network-on-Chips (NoCs) play a crucial role in determining the overall
performance, energy usage, and reliability of many-core processing
architectures. NoCs are part of an increasingly large number of products
that we use every day – demonstrating that the NoC paradigm is
practical, scalable, and can be adapted to support multiple
computational paradigms, ranging from multiprocessing and reconfigurable
computing to the emerging areas of AI and neuromorphic computing. The
goal of the NoCArc Workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and
practitioners to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions
related to the design, implementation, testing and application of NoCs
and NoC based many-core architectures. Topics of specific interest for
the workshop include, but are not limited to:
Machine Learning (ML) and NoC-based systems
* ML for modeling and prediction
* ML based algorithms, optimization, and design methodologies
* Novel interconnections for domain specific ML architectures
* Memory access for the NoC-based ML systems
NoC Architecture and Implementation
* Topologies, routing, and flow control
* Managing QoS
* Reliability and security issues
* Design methodologies and tools
NoC Analysis, Optimization, and Verification
* Power, energy, and thermal issues
* Benchmarking and experience with NoC-based systems
* Modeling, simulation, and synthesis
* Debug, test and verification of NoCs and NoC-based systems
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 at System-level
* NoC support for designing and accessing memory subsystems
* OS support for NoCs
* Existing and novel programming models including shared memory,
message passing, etc
* Large-scale systems (datacenters and supercomputers) with NoC-based
systems as building blocks
NoC at System-level
* NoC for quantum architectures
* Wireless, Optical, and RF
* NoCs for 3D and 2.5D packages including Network-in-Package (NiP)
* Approximate computing for NoCs and NoC-based systems
* Chip-to-Chip Interconnects
Besides regular papers, papers describing “work in progress” or
incomplete but sound new innovative ideas related to the workshop theme
are also encouraged.
