HPCA-14 Call for Industrial Paper (PDF)

The 14th International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA-14) will include a session on the architecture of emerging compute platforms, including processors, caches, memory interconnects, and I/O. The objective of this session is to provide a unique forum for industry leaders to present their perspective on technical challenges and the approaches to resolve them. Presenting such technical challenges will also encourage the research community to investigate solutions. The session will include a small number of papers (approximately 3-5) selected based on depth and relevance to the HPCA audience. Please note that for this session, we are soliciting papers from industry (researchers from academia can be included as co-authors, but the work needs to be done in industry, with main contributions coming from industry authors).

Designers and developers involved in some aspect of industrial computer systems design and development are invited to submit a paper describing new challenges, issues, and opportunities that need or can be addressed in the next-generation computer systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Implications of circuit technology: noise, process variation, and memory scaling
• Architectural issues with deeply scaled CMOS
• Design complexity and verification
• Power, energy, and temperature
• Systems reliability
• Implications of software on architecture
• Architectures for new application domains
• Microarchitecture
• Chip-level parallel systems
• Memory systems
• Storage systems
• Interconnect and network interfaces
• Innovative architectural paradigms
• Innovative hardware/software trade-offs
• Impact of compilers on architectures
• Performance evaluation of real machines

Authors are requested to submit their abstracts for consideration to the chair, Pradeep Dubey (pradeep.dubey@intel.com) no later than 11:59PM PST September 29th, 2007. Submissions should be PDF files and should not exceed 10 pages (around 3,000 words). Authors will be notified of inclusion in the conference on October 27th, 2007. Accepted papers will be printed in the HPCA Proceedings and the authors will present their work at the conference. Presentations will be posted on the conference website.
