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:

T

• 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.”
