Topics/Call fo Papers

Recent trends in the microprocessor industry have important ramifications for the design of the next generation of high-performance computing systems. By increasing number of cores, it is possible to improve the performance while keeping the power consumption unchanged. This trend has reached all areas of computing, ranging from high-performance computers to embedded multicore systems. Multicore systems need to be able to reconfigure themselves dynamically by monitoring their own condition and the surrounding environment in order to adapt themselves to different scenarios and performance-power requirements. Runtime monitoring becomes crucial in the emerging and future parallel and distributed multicore systems due to increase in variations and fault occurrences, thermal issues as well as due to the need for various dynamic optimizations. Furthermore, to obtain optimal performance-power ratio and to have system wide adaptability, for both single-chip and physically distributed multicore systems, monitoring and reconfiguration are essential.
Special Session Scope
This special session addresses all aspects of monitoring and reconfiguration of parallel and distributed multicore systems. It presents new ideas in the multicore field such as theory and modeling, scalable and fault tolerant design approaches and frameworks, algorithms, analysis and comparison, design techniques and emerging implementations.
Authors are invited to submit high quality papers representing original work from both the academia and industry in (but not limited to) the following topics:
Scalable monitoring architectures for multicore systems
Monitoring and reconfiguration for NoC-based multicore systems
Methods for distributed parallel system monitoring and reconfiguration
Low-power monitor and sensor circuits
Energy-aware architectures and computing
Reconfiguration for fault tolerant and diagnostic system monitoring
Thermal-aware architectures
Monitoring techniques for FPGA based designs
Monitoring architectures for 3D multicore systems
Embedded multicore real-time systems
Design space exploration and tradeoff analysis
Dynamic coherence protocols
Formal methods for modeling, design and verification of monitoring and reconfiguration
On-line testing, design of checkers
Cases studies of multicore systems demonstrating monitoring and/or reconfiguration implementation
