CALL FOR PAPERS
DARK SILICON AWARE MULTI-CORE AND MANY-CORE SYSTEMS (DS-MC2)
Special session in IEEE 10th International Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Many-core Systems-on-Chip (MCSoC-16)
http://mcsoc-forum.org/2016/
21-23 September 2016, Lyon, France
=============================================================================================

This special session focuses on all aspects of energy-efficient computing in parallel multi- and many-core systems for the dark silicon era. It presents new ideas in the dark silicon aware multi- and many-core systems field such as theory and modeling, scalable and energy-efficient design approaches and frameworks, algorithms, analysis and comparison, design techniques and emerging implementations.

All accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of IEEE MCSoC-16 symposium, which are available worldwide through the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. An extended version of the best papers of the DS-MC2 be invited to submit extended article versions to one of the ISI-indexed high-quality journals.

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 focusing on energy efficient multi- and many-core:

· Energy and thermal aware application mapping and scheduling

•    Energy- and thermal-aware dark silicon system design and optimization

•    Adaptive 3D architectures

•    Adaptive off-chip/on-chip communication architectures including networks-on-chip

•    On-line power monitoring and management

•    Programming models, tools, languages and compilers to support energy-aware reconfigurable computing

•    Low-power monitor and sensor circuits

•    Reconfigurable and/or heterogeneous system architecture

•    Energy efficient defect/fault tolerance, testing, and reliability

•    Aging aware design, energy- and thermal-related reliability issues

•    Energy-proportional systems

•    Energy efficient and hybrid memory architectures and technologies
