Architecture of Computing Systems 34th International Conference, ARCS 2021, Virtual Event, June 7–8, 2021, Proceedings

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 34th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2021, held virtually in July 2021.

The 12 full papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. 2 workshop papers (VEFRE) are also included. ARCS has always been a conference attracting leading-edge research outcomes in Computer Architecture and Operating Systems, including a wide spectrum of topics ranging from fully integrated, self-powered embedded systems up to high-performance computing systems. It also provides a platform covering newly emerging and cross-cutting topics, such as autonomous and ubiquitous systems, reconfigurable computing and acceleration, neural networks and artificial intelligence. The selected papers cover a variety of topics from the ARCS core domains, including heterogeneous computing, memory optimizations, and organic computing.
