Guest Editorial: Special issue on Network and Parallel Computing for Emerging Architectures and Applications

摘要

The aim of this special issue is to provide an introduction to the burgeoning topic of computer system research for high-performance computers and big-data systems. It consists of 9 papers that are briefly discussed as follows: The first article, by Jiansong Li on "Compiler-assisted Operator Template Library for DNN Accelerators" addresses an important research problem that dedicated DNN accelerators lack suitable tool chains, and thus force the programmers to write low-level assembly. In "Compiler-assisted Operator Template Library for DNN Accelerators" the authors present TOpLib, which allows the programmers to write high-level primitives without considering many low-level details to utilize the accelerators.
