IEEE 14th International Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Many-core Systems-on-Chip (MCSoC 2021)
Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore
December 20-23, 2021

This special session aims to discuss novel ideas and methodologies of FPGA technologies for adaptive computing. As the attention to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have been grown, the needs for highly efficient computing systems and architectures have also been increasing. FPGA technologies are one of the promising schemes for highly efficient adaptive computing systems, where a specific computation is done by hardware accelerators, with a much shorter time and much smaller energy consumption.

Topics of interests of this special session include, but are not limited to:

• FPGA acceleration for multicore/many-core systems-on-chip
• Innovative FPGA technologies
• Interconnection network and network-on-chip for adaptive computing
• Optimized soft processors on an FPGA
• FPGA components for robots and IoT devices
• Rapid-prototyping for FPGA-based computing engines
• Asynchronous computing circuits on FPGAs
• FPGA-based accelerators of machine learning applications

• The papers should be prepared according to the IEEE CS format and no longer than eight pages.
• Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers and will be evaluated based on usefulness, originality, relevance to the session's theme, and technical quality.
• Submission of a paper implies that at least one of the authors will register for the symposium, and an author will present the paper.
• Proceedings of the symposium will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
• Please submit your paper via the MCSoC 2021 submission site: https://edas.info/N27016
