The ARCS conferences series has over 30 years of tradition reporting leading edge research in computer architecture and operating systems. The focus of the 2021 conference will be on novel computer architectures to overcome the inefficiencies in general-purpose processors. This includes hardware architectures, programming models, runtime environments, cross-sectional topics, and real-world use cases.
The proceedings of ARCS 2021 are planed to be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. A best paper and best presentation award will be presented at the conference. Facing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, ARCS 2021 will be a virtual conference with live presentations, live Q&A, and up-to-date opportunities for virtual socializing.

Submission guidelines: Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arcs2021
ARCS 2021 uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliation. When citing own work, it must be done in a neutral form (i.e. avoiding ‘our’, ‘we’, ‘previous work’ etc.). Papers must be submitted in PDF format, formatted according to Springer LNCS style (see: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) and must not exceed 15 pages, including references and figures.
