NVMSA 2016
The 4th IEEE Non-Volatile Memory Systems and Applications Symposium (NVMSA)
Non-Volatile memory (NVM) technologies have demonstrated great potentials on improving many aspects of present and future memory hierarchy, offering high integration density, larger capacity, zero standby power and good resilience to soft errors. The recent research progress of various NVMs, e.g., NAND flash, PCM, STT-RAM, RRAM, FeRAM, etc., have drawn tremendous attentions from both academy and industry.
Besides developing robust and scalable devices, the unique characteristics of these NVM technologies, such as read-write asymmetry, stochastic programming behavior, performance-power-nonvolatility tradeoff etc., introduce plenty of opportunities and challenges for novel circuit designs, architectures, system organizations, and management strategies. There is an urgent need of technology invention, modeling, analysis, design and application of these NVMs ranging from circuit design level to system level.
IEEE Non-Volatile Memory Systems and Applications Symposium (NVMSA) provides a fantastic opportunity for global nonvolatile memory researchers from different communities to discuss and exchange knowledge, ideas, and insights, and to facilitate the establishment of potential collaborations that can speed up the progress in the design and application of NVMs. An expanded technical program will be offered in NVMSA 2016 for the audience from academy and industry. The organizing committee is soliciting various topics on related to NVMs including (but not limited to):
Device/Circuit design of NVMs
- Emerging Non-volatile Memory Circuit Design
- NVM Device Design
- Error correction for NVMs
- Nonvolatile Logic Circuit Design
NVM Architectures and Systems
- Non-volatile Registers
- Non-volatile Memory Architectures
- Non-volatile Cache Design
- NVM-based Neuromorphic Architectures
- NVM-based Storage
NVM Software
- Operating System Support for NVM
- Compiler Optimization for NVM
- NVM-based File Systems
- NVM-based Storage Software
- NVM-based Databases
- NVM Controller Design
NVM Applications
- In-memory Computing
- NVM for Big Data Analytics
- NVM in Mobile Healthcare Applications
- NVM in Wearable Applications
- NVM and the Internet of Things
The topics of NVMSA cover the research and development advances in both mainstream and emerging NVMs. The event is designed to foster interaction and presentation of early results, new ideas and speculative directions. Thus, NVMSA will combine the presentations of the papers accepted from the regular submissions as well as a number of invited talks from researchers in academia, technologists from industry, and case studies on the use of NVMs. Participating authors are invited to submit six-page manuscripts to the conference and all accepted papers will be published in the conference proceeding. Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. The extensions of some selected papers will be published in a special issue of The Journal of Systems Architecture: Embedded Software Design.
