Abstract

The International Symposium on Networks&#8211;on&#8211;Chip (NOCS) is the premier event dedicated to interdisciplinary research on on&#8211;chip and chip&#8211;scale communication technology, architecture, design methods, applications and systems&#046; NOCS brings together scientists and engineers working on NoC innovations and applications from inter&#8211;related research communities, including computer architecture, networking, circuits and systems, embedded systems, and design automation&#046; Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>NoC Architecture and Implementation:<br>Network architecture (topology, routing, arbitration)<br>NoC Quality of Service<br>Timing, synchronous/asynchronous communication<br>NoC reliability issues<br>Network interface issues<br>NoC design methodologies and tools<br>Signaling &amp; circuit design for NoC links<br>Physical design of interconnect &amp; NoC<br>NoC Application:<br>Mapping of applications onto NoCs<br>NoC case studies, application&#8211;specific NoC design<br>NoCs for FPGAs, structured ASICs, CMPs and MPSoCs<br>NoC designs for heterogeneous systems, fused CPU&#8211;GPU architectures, etc<br>Network design for 2&#046;5D &amp; 3D stacked logic and memory<br>NoC Analysis and Verification:<br>Power, energy &amp; thermal issues (at the NoC, un&#8211;core and/or system&#8211;level)<br>Benchmarking &amp; experience with real NoC&#8211;based hardware<br>Modeling, simulation, and synthesis of NoCs<br>Verification, debug &amp; test of NoCs<br>Metrics and benchmarks for NoCs<br>NoC at the un&#8211;core and system&#8211;level:<br>Design of memory subsystem (un&#8211;core) including memory controllers, caches, cache coherence protocols &amp; NoCs<br>NoC support for memory and cache access<br>OS support for NoCs<br>Programming models including shared memory, message passing and novel programming models<br>Multi/many&#8211;core workload characterization &amp; evaluation<br>Optical, RF, &amp; emerging technologies for on&#8211;chip/inpackage interconnects Issues related to large&#8211;scale systems (datacenters, supercomputers) with NoC&#8211;based systems as building blocks<br>
