Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have successfully transitioned from mostly prototyping platforms to heterogeneous compute-acceleration platforms. Currently, FPGAs have been widely used in artificial intelligence (AI) acceleration, sensor signal acquisition and processing, as well as quantum information processing. With the rapid advances in AI, quantum computing, and micro-nano sensor systems, FPGAs continue to be an attractive computing platform for domain-specific accelerations. In this Special Issue, we call for high-quality and insightful manuscripts on advanced FPGA circuits and systems designs, modern FPGA architectures, high-level synthesis tools and FPGA-based applications, such as AI or LLM acceleration, quantum computing and quantum information, scientific computing, integration of sensor arrays, etc. The objective of this Special Issue is to solicit and present the latest research findings in the field of hardware and algorithm codesign with a particular interest in FPGA circuits and systems.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
