**********************************************************************

Theme
----------
This special issue attempts to create a platform to foster new ideas
and technical insights in the design and analysis of emerging parallel
architectures and systems and their scientific, engineering, and
commercial applications. In particular, we would like to focus on
issues on multi/many-core computing and programming, system-on-chip
architectures/systems, application-specific multiprocessor
architectures/systems, and OS/software support. We invite submissions
of regular papers with unpublished original results and, by
invitation, the revised and extended version of the papers presented
in the High-Performance Computing Architectures (HPCA) Track at the
9th International Conference on Information Technology: New Generation
(ITNG).

Specific Topics
------------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Multi/many-core processor architectures
* System-on-chip (SoC) and network-on-chip (NoC) architectures
* Application-specific multiprocessor architectures/systems
* Power-efficient architectures and techniques for multi-core/SoC
systems
* Application modeling and mapping schemes for multi/many-core/SoC
systems
* Parallel programming models and compiler design for multi/many-core
systems
* Parallelization and scheduling methodologies for multi/many-core
systems
* OS/system/software support for memory hierarchy management
* OS/system/software support for processor management (scheduling and
heterogeneity)
* OS/system/software support for power management
* OS/system/software support for multithreading, synchronization, and
parallelism
* Debugger and performance analysis tools for multi/many-core
processors
