IEEE Hot Interconnects | Google campus | Mountain View, CA

JOIN US! On Google campus
in Mountain View in 2010!
Join us in August, 2010 when Google hosts the 18th Annual IEEE Hot Interconnects Conference. Hot Interconnects is the premier international forum for researchers and developers of state-of-the-art hardware and software architectures and implementations for interconnection networks of all scales, ranging from multi-core on-chip interconnects to those within systems, clusters, and data centers. Leaders in industry and academia attend the conference to interact with individuals at the forefront of this field.

Themes include cross-cutting issues spanning computer systems, networking technologies, and communication protocols. This conference is directed particularly at new and exciting technology and product innovations in these areas. Contributions should focus on real experimental systems, prototypes, or leading-edge products and their performance evaluation. In addition to those subscribing to the main theme of the conference, contributions are also solicited in the topics listed below.

Building on last year's successful keynote, session, and panel in 2010 Hot Interconnects moves to the Google Campus in Mountain View for the conference. We hope you can join us there. Download a copy of the cfp here.
