Special Issue Information
RISC-V is attracting a lot of interest in different directions, ranging from hardware to software aspects, such as low-power implementation, high-performance computing, compilers and tools, and several emerging applications. Depending on the application domain, different requirements must be taken into proper account. Opening the ISA of RISC-V paved the way to the opening of the whole digital design ecosystem. Thus, aspects such as energy efficiency, reliability, security, and open-source CAD/EDA tools can be tackled from different perspectives.
Such an interest is fostering a high number of academic and industrial research efforts around worldwide projects and initiatives to provide not only implementations but also analysis and methodologies either at the hardware or software level.
This Special Issue aims to shed some light on some of the aforementioned topics, tackled by RISC-V-based initiatives and projects, by sharing the most recent and promising results with the research community.
Authors are invited to submit regular papers following the JLPEA submission guidelines, within the remit of this Special Issue call. Topics include but are not limited to:
- RISC-V processors, micro-architecture optimizations, and hardware accelerators;
- Edge computing and ISA extension (e.g., packed-SIMD, floating point, bit-manipulation);
- System integration, atomic memory operations, OS support (e.g., hypervisor), compiler and runtimes, containerization, and virtualization;
- Simulation and emulation, performance analysis tools, and methodologies,
- Quality assurance and reliability, design verification/validation, and security (secure architectures and cryptography).

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. Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
