**Preface to "Design Space Exploration and Resource Management of Multi/Many-Core Systems"**

The reliance of computing systems of various scales, e.g., embedded to cloud computing, on multi-/many-core chips, mainly to satisfy the high-performance requirement of complex software applications, is increasing. At the same time, depending on the applications to be executed, these systems also demand energy efficiency, reliability and/or security. These demands can be fulfilled by exploring the design space by considering the software applications and the multi-/many-core chips to find the design points leading to efficiency in all the required metrics. Furthermore, considering varying workloads in the systems over time, efficient resource management methodologies need to be developed that can exploit the explored design points and/or perform online optimizations to meet the requirements of performance, energy efficiency, reliability and/or security. This Special Issue collects eight papers from leading researchers in this field and demonstrates the spectrum of design space exploration and resource management strategies for multi-/many-core systems. In addition, the collection provides visionary views of the computing landscape to be observed in future.
