CALL FOR PAPERS

INARCS at ReConFig

Track on INterconnect ARchitectures for Reconfigurable Computing Systems
To be held at International Conference on ReConFigurable Computing and FPGAs (ReConFig 2013)

Cancun, Mexico, 9-11 December

THEME

The increase in performance and capacity of modern FPGAs enable the design of on-FPGA multiprocessing SoC. The efficient operation of such systems and their fast integration require efficient on-chip communication fabrics called networks-on-fpgas. Current knowledge and research in interconnects can not directly be applied to FPGA domain, as suboptimal solutions will be achieved. There is a need of a customized design of the network tailored to the FPGA constraints and opportunities it brings. Optimal implementations can be supported by hard pre-built network components that will simplify design and increase performance of overlaid soft interconnect architectures.
At the same time, the emerging high-performance reconfigurable computing systems that aim in integrating thousands of FPGA nodes, require novel system interconnect architectures with both on-chip and off-chip components. The increasing IO bandwidth of FPGA fabrics enable truly scalable interconnect architectures that would fit the novel programming models, the communication patterns and the accelerator-rich features of Reconfigurable HPC systems.
The emergence of such interconnect architectures with both hard and soft components is expected to inspire new designs, specially when dealing with reconfigurable systems. There is a need to identify the best designs and practices combining all the solutions provided. For example: (1) the intrinsic reconfiguration capabilities of FPGAs and/or in-network reconfiguration capabilities for on-chip interconnects, (2) network-centric reconfiguration protocols and/or paralelized reconfiguration operations, and (3) additional properties such as isolation, partitioning and virtualization.
This track aims to create a forum for researchers from both environments (interconnects and reconfigurable computing systems) to come up with efficient solutions and approaches for reconfigurable FPGA-based interconnect systems and identifying the potential of such inter-disciplinary concept.

TOPICS OF INTEREST (not limited to)

- Hard and Soft interconnect architectures
- Customized networks-on-fpgas
- Interconnect architectures and protocol for reconfigurable HPC systems
- Network-centric reconfiguration mechanism
- Interconnect fault-tolerant techniques
- Virtualization/partitioning support of the interconnect
- In-network cache coherence support
- Hands-on experiences on interconnects embedded in FPGA systems


PROCEEDINGS

Conference proceedings will be published by IEEE and will appear at the IEEE Digital Library (IEEE Xplore). Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version for publication in ReConFig'13 Special Issues of international journals (TBC).

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Submissions should be no more than 6 pages long including tables, figures and references (4 pages for PhD Forum). They have to be submitted for evaluation as a PDF file using IEEE formatting (US-letter size).

Additional pages can be purchased for regular papers at a price of 75 USD per page (up to 2 extra pages are allowed). No additional pages will be allowed for PhD forum papers.

At least one author of every submitted paper has to attend the conference if the paper is accepted. Authors who do not attend the conference to present their papers will not have their paper published in the conference´s proceedings.
