/on High-Performance Computing for Embedded Multi-Core Systems

Guest Editors: Minyi Guo, Zili Shao, Edwin Sha

Multi-core processor brings a major technical innovation in computing 
hardware. The leap from single-core to multi-core technology has 
permanently altered the concept about computing. Embedded devices with 
multi-core technology will rapidly spread through out the world, and the 
shift from single-core to multi-core posts a lot of challenges. These 
challenges need to be addressed under joint efforts from different areas 
such as concurrent and parallel computing, computer architecture, 
programming language, compiler, and others.

The objective of this special issue is to present the latest advances in 
both hardware and software aspects of multi-core computing. The special 
issue solicits contributions in areas including, but not limited to:

# Embedded and reconfigurable architectures for multi-core systems
# Hardware/Software trade-offs for multi-core systems
# Innovative multi-core processor architecture
# Interconnect and on-chip network architecture for multi-core systems
# Operating systems and middleware for multi-core systems
# Performance evaluation of applications in multi-core systems
# Power-efficient architectures and techniques for multi-core systems
# Programming languages and compilation techniques for multi-core systems
# Scheduling and execution time analysis for multi-core systems
# Validation, verification, and debugging techniques for multi-core systems
