CALL FOR PAPERS HiPEAC1st International Workshop on Exploiting Silicon Photonics for energy-efficient heterogeneous parallel architectures (SiPhotonics'2014)

CALL FOR PAPERS

*****************************************************************************

HiPEAC1st International Workshop on Exploiting Silicon Photonics for

energy-efficient heterogeneous parallel architectures (SiPhotonics'2014)
_http://www.hipeac.net/conference/vienna/workshop/siphotonics/2014_

in Vienna, Austria, 21 January 2014

associated with the 9th HiPEAC conference on High Performance and
Embedded Architecture and Compilers
(_http://www.hipeac.net/conference/vienna_).

*****************************************************************************

*Goal of the Workshop:*

The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research
interests and activities on Silicon Photonics and related topics in the
perspective of its adoption in future computer systems. In fact Silicon
Photonics poses in itself crucial challenges and interesting design
tradeoffs for being deployed in future computer systems effectively,
also in integration with other technologies. Furthermore, the unique
features of photonics (e.g. extreme low-latency, end-to-end
transmission, high bandwidth density) have the potential to constitute a
/discontinuity /element 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.

Summarizing, silicon photonics can bring innovations and benefits into
current and foreseeable computing systems /directly/, due to their
intrinsic features, but also /indirectly/ enabling the evolution towards
architectures, runtime and resource management approaches that maximize
the photonic raw technologicalopportunities and lead to more efficient
overall designs, otherwise impossible.

This workshop aims to increase the synergy from a complete range of
perspectives, from raw technology issues and solutions up to studies at
the overall system level of modern multi-/many-core systems, both from
academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are
interested in experimental, systems-related, and work-in-progress papers
in all aspects of the Silicon Photonics technology at all levels of
development.

*Topics of interest:*

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Integration of positive features of both electronic and photonic
interconnection technology.

- Low-level technological improvements and implications (e.g. integrated
lasers, modulation and detection technologies, microring resonators).

- Fabrication issues (e.g. precision) and new tools (e.g. design, place
and route, ecc) to easy the topological exploration.

- Emerging challenges and solutions for on-chip interconnections, cache
coherence protocols, runtime and OS scheduling, and programmability, for
future homogeneous/heterogeneous energy-aware CMPs

- Simulation, validation and verification

- Photonics in the memory hierarchy and I/O of computing systems

- QoS management and performance analysis

- Programming languages and compilers for thermal-, energy-, and
power-aware architectures

- Solving the requirements of multiple heterogeneous parallel applications.

- Interaction between photonic features and current computer design issues.

- Industrial practices and case studies

*Submission guidelines:*

Prospective authors should submit electronically a full paper in English
in PDF format. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished
research that is not currently under review for any other conference or
journal.

All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation,
and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees.

They should be formatted according to double-column ACM format pages,
including figures and references. Please use the following template when
preparing your manuscript:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates,not exceeding
6 pages.

Submissions can be made through the submission web site at

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=siphotonics2014

*Publication:*

Informal proceedings will be provided in an USB stick to all
participants including all material relevant to the conference and the
related events.

To confirm the publication, at least one author of each accepted paper
is expected to register for the workshop and present the papers at the
workshop itself.

After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to
submit an extended version of their contribution for a special issue of
the journal "Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience" from
Wiley, scheduled to be published for June 2014.
