The Journal of Supercomputing - CfP: Architectures, Systems and Hardware Security Section

ABOUT THE SECTION

All aspects of high-performance hardware and architectures, including optimizing and evaluating processors, systems issues, and security, especially at the hardware level and sustainability of systems.

Topics include but not limited to the following:

• Architectural support for programming languages or software development.
• Architectures to support extremely heterogeneous composable systems (e.g., chiplets)
• Design-space exploration/performance projection for future systems
• Evaluation and measurement on testbed or production hardware systems
• Hardware acceleration of containerization and virtualization mechanisms for HPC
• Interconnect technologies, topology, switch architecture
• I/O architecture/hardware and emerging storage technologies
• Memory systems: caches, memory technology, non-volatile memory, memory system architecture (to include address translation for cores and accelerators)
• Multi-processor architecture and micro-architecture (e.g., reconfigurable, vector, stream, dataflow, GPUs, and custom/novel architecture)
• Sustainable design aspects, including power and energy efficiency and power-management strategies
• Resilience, error correction, high availability architectures
• Scalable and composable coherence (for cores and accelerators)
• Secure architectures, side-channel attacks, and mitigation, covering all attack vectors, including all forms of side-channel attacks, piracy, reverse engineering, tampering, and hardware Trojan attacks, including countermeasures at different stages of system design - i.e., architecture definition, design, validation, and deployment
• the security of hardware and system security at all levels of abstraction
• Interactions between hardware and systems, and between hardware and firmware/software, including in the context of security and trust
• Software/hardware co-design, domain-specific language support
• Interactions among architectures, compilers, programming languages, and operating systems

Architectures, Systems and Hardware Security research relates to multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through advances in health care, education, and energy, among other fields. This Section particularly welcomes submissions related to SDG 9 “Industry, Innovation, And Infrastructure.”

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Instructions for Authors available from the Journal of Supercomputing website (this opens in a new tab). Authors should submit through the online submission site here (this opens in a new tab) and select “Section - Architectures, Systems and Hardware Security” when they reach the “Collection” step on the Details tab during the submission process. Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the special issue. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least three independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Section Editor.
