AISTECS 2017

Date: Jan 25, 2017 9:30 am – Jan 25, 2017 10:30 am
Location: Stockholm, Sweden

2nd International Workshop on Advanced Interconnect Solutions and Technologies for Emerging Computing Systems (AISTECS)

Associated with the 12th HiPEAC Conference on High Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers. 
https://www.hipeac.net/2017/stockholm/

The AISTECS workshop promotes research and knowledge exchange on  evolutionary as well as revolutionary interconnect technologies. This includes  interconnect-related topics in the perspective of their adoption in future high performance systems and, in general, within future computing systems from servers/workstations down to embedded devices and the Internet of Things,  which are tied to strict power budget and thermal envelopes because of the  impending green computing era. To this end, the exploration of emerging  interconnect technologies along with the design of disruptive/novel ideas at the microarchitectural network level are necessary, both leading to crucial challenges and interesting design tradeoffs for their widespread adoption in next-generation computing platforms. Furthermore, we expect that novel interconnect features have the potential to constitute disruptive new ideas able to modify the expected shape of future computer systems from the design point of view and also from the programmability and/or runtime management perspectives. Finally the workshop aims to increase the synergy to develop  advanced interconnect solutions and technologies for emerging computing  systems from a complete range of perspectives following a holistic approach:  from raw technology issues and solutions up to studies at the overall system level  of modern multi-/many-core systems. This encompasses novel network solutions  from both academic and industrial researchers.
