Guest Editors' Introduction: High-Performance Interconnects

We are pleased to introduce this special issue of IEEE Micro, featuring articles that capture the latest results on high-performance interconnection networks, including some of the best presentations from last summer's Hot Interconnects 13 at Stanford University. Hot Interconnects provides a unique international forum for researchers and developers of state-of-the-art hardware and software architectures for interconnection networks at all scales, ranging from on-chip processor-memory interconnects to high-performance networks for the largest and most powerfulsupercomputers.     

Guest Editors' Introduction: Hot Interconnects 12

Hot Interconnects is an annual conference that specializes in state-of-the-art hardware and software architectures, and implementations of interconnection networks of all scales, ranging from on-chip, processor-memory interconnects to wide-area networks. It is the event where the high-performance computing and high-speed networking communities meet, and has a wide attendance both from industry and academia. Hot Interconnects 12 convened from 25 to 27 August 2004 at Stanford University; it included two days of paper sessions and one day of tutorials. Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Microprocessors and Microcomputers, Hot Interconnects also has technical cosponsorship from the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committees on High-Speed Networking and Communications Switching and Routing.
