Abstracts of 1-2 pages (inclusive of any figures) should be submitted
electronically to José Duato (jduato@gap.upv.es) by November 7, 2000. Longer
submissions will not be considered. Program committee members will select the
best abstracts for 10-minute talks during the session. This is intended to be a
fun, informal session that will spark ideas and interactions. In keeping with
this spirit, prizes will be awarded based on audience feedback. Topics of
interest include all aspects of high-performance computer architecture,
including (but not limited to):
Processor architectures
Cache and memory architectures
Parallel computer architectures
Impact of VLSI scaling on architecture
Novel architectures for emerging applications
Power-efficient architectures
High-availability architectures
High-performance I/O architectures
Embedded, reconfigurable and intelligent architectures
van Eck phreak-resistant architectures
Real-time architectures
Interconnection networks and network interfaces
Innovative hardware/software tradeoffs
Simulation and performance evaluation
Benchmarking and measurements
Abstracts should clearly
communicate the ideas behind the work, and should highlight any initial results.
Submissions will be selected based on originality, the importance of the problem
addressed, and the potential for conveying the ideas clearly in a mere ten
minutes. Mature work that has been presented elsewhere in some form is
inappropriate, and will not be considered. Accepted abstracts may be included on
the CD-ROM with electronic proceedings from the conference (which will be
distributed to conference attendees), and extended versions will be published in
the IEEE TCCA Newsletter. Notification of acceptance will be sent by November
24, 2000.
