ACM Journal on Emerging
Technologies in Computing Systems (ACM JETC)
For decades, Moore's Law
coupled with Dennard scaling has resulted in
increasing transistor integration capacity
with a constant power density. However, with
the end of Dennard scaling, power efficiency
in multicore designs has become a concern.
Studies have shown that global metallic
interconnects will consume significant
amounts of power to achieve the
communication bandwidth that will be
required by future Chip Multi-Processors
(CMPs). An energy-efficient inter- and
intra-chip communication infrastructure is
the key to guarantee the continuous growth
of CMPs. Compared to the traditional planar
metallic interconnects, emerging
technologies such as silicon photonics and
wireless can offer unprecedented advantages
to the future generations of CMPs.
Nevertheless, many challenges should be
addressed to exploit the full potential of
such alternative interconnect technologies,
at any abstraction level, from the very
bottom level of device manufacturing to the
architecture and system level. The
ACM
Journal on Emerging Technologies in
Computing Systems (JETC) seeks
original manuscripts for a special issue on
"Emerging Networks-on-Chip: Designs,
Technologies, and Applications", scheduled
for publication in September 2018. The
purpose of this special issue is to solicit
papers discussing the latest advancements in
the design and technology of emerging
networks-on-chip and evaluate their future
prospects. Contributions that include real
case studies and applications are especially
welcome.
The topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- Emerging networks-on-chip
interconnects (silicon photonics,
wireless, carbon-based, quantum,
superconducting, etc.)
- 3D integration and packaging
- Power- and thermal-aware design of
emerging networks-on-chip
- Fault-tolerance and reliability of
emerging networks-on-chip
- Application-specific design of
emerging networks-on-chip
Interested authors should submit their
papers to
mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jetc.
