DPNoC 2018 - The 5th International Workshop on Design and Performance of Networks on Chip

Scope
---
The advance in silicon technology has led to the emergence of on-Chip Systems (SoC), where a complete system with a large number of intellectual property cores can be integrated onto a single silicon chip. The performance of SoCs highly depends on the speed and efficiency of their underlying communications subsystems. The light weight networks, known as Network-on-Chip (NoC), have been introduced to overcome the scalability problem found in shared-bus communication architectures. Intensive research studies have been undertaken investigating the design cost, in terms of silicon area and power consumption, and performance of NoC. Most of these studies are targeting NoC topology, router microarchitecture, switching techniques, routing algorithms, and application mapping onto NoC.
The workshop on the Design and Performance of Networks on Chip (DPNoC'2018 will represent an international forum for researchers from both academia and industry to expose the latest trends, research findings, and emerging issues in this area.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Technology constraints on NoCs
• Router microarchitecture
• Flow control techniques
• Switching techniques
• Routing protocols
• Fault tolerance/reliability in NoC
• Technology constraints on NoCs
• Scheduling and application mapping onto NoC
• Wireless NoCs
• NOCs modeling and performance evaluation
• NOC scalability
• FPGA-based implementation of reconfigurable NoCs
