Increasing dependency of applications on I/O, emergence of new I/O technologies and integration lead us to believe that I/O will have a profound influence on future microprocessor architecture. The workshop solicits original papers on completed work, future directions, position papers, and/or work-in progress papers in the following areas. We encourage all to submit papers that bring out new and interesting approaches even if they are in early stages of development. The main goal is to have leading researchers in academia and industry to meet and put their ideas on the table. - Historical perspectives on how I/O subsystems have evolved - Evaluation of existing I/O subsystems and implications - Microprocessor core/cache architecture enhancements for efficient I/O processing, I/O related data movement and power management - Relationships between typical programmable cores, accelerators and I/O (tightly coupled communications and computational accelerators) - Software-Hardware partitioning of I/O processing - Influence of I/O subsystem virtualization - Architectural trade-offs when integrating various forms of I/O (wireless or wired networking, storage, USB and high performance interconnects) - Integration styles - monolithic integration of existing discrete designs or infusion of I/O into microprocessor cores - Measurement, modeling and simulation paradigms to improve the evaluation of processor-I/O interaction Important Dates Abstract: December 12th, 2008 Final Paper: December 19th, 2008 Final Agenda: January 9th, 2009 Workshop: February, 15th, 2009 Submission Instructions The document format of your submission should be in the same format used for the HPCA conference. All submissions must be in PDF format and are strictly limited to 10 pages. Shorter papers that clearly articulate a position or set a fundamental direction are welcome. Please see workshop website for further instructions.
