Workshop on On-And Off-Chip Interconnection Networks for Multicore Systems.

这是一份研讨会提案，旨在确定在片上和片外通信架构（即互连网络）的特定领域中，新兴的多核和片上系统（SoC）时代的计算机体系结构，计算系统和系统软件方面急需的研究方向。研讨会涵盖的领域包括驱动多核需求的应用、支持多核的硬件/系统软件技术和架构，以及支持多核的技术。将特别关注片上和片外互连网络，这是多核系统和由多核构建的多处理器系统的关键架构组件。

This is a workshop proposal designed to identify much needed research directions on computer architectures, computing systems and systems software for the emerging multicore and system-on-a-chip (SoC) era in the specific area of on-chip and off-chip communication architecture (i.e., interconnection networks). Areas to be covered by the workshop include applications driving the need for multicores, to hardware/system software technologies and architectures supporting them, to technologies enabling them. Particular focus will be given to on-chip and off-chip interconnection networks, which are a critical architectural components of multicore systems and multiprocessor systems built from multicores.
