Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computing architectures are experiencing a surge in interest, driven by the need to achieve high performance at a reduced energy cost, as highlighted by the "power wall" experienced in supercomputer design and by the need to maximize performance at the edge.
AI and other emerging technologies have led to a range of tailored architectural solutions, exploiting specific characteristics of an application class to increase performance and reduce energy consumption.
At the edge, the need for high performance meets other more stringent requirements such as real-time constraints. To address these issues, a range of tools are needed at the architectural, electronic design automation, and system software levels to enable the customization, co-design, and co-optimization of applications and architectures.
This Special Issue aims to collect manuscripts presenting solutions and tools for improving performance in a range of different application classes, in the context of both supercomputers and high-performance embedded systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
