Welcome to HOT Interconnects 27, to be held August 19-21, 2020.  Due to the spread of Covid-19,
there will not be an in-person event for Hot Interconnects 27, but it will be held as an on-line
virtual conference. All tutorials, keynotes, and sessions will be broadcast so that all registered
conference attendees will be able to access. Logon instructions will be emailed to all  attendees
before the start of the conference. The broadcast will be in the Pacific Time Zone.  Per-talk Slack
channels connect registered attendees to presenters for live Q&A and discussions with other attendees.
We hope that you enjoy this new format conference and all the interesting presentations described
here.

Message from the TPC Chairs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Welcome to the 2020 IEEE 27th Annual Symposium on High-Performance Interconnects. This
conference brings together designers and architects of high-performance networks, with
presentations from universities and industrial research laboratories that focus on the
latest developments in leading-edge technologies. This year’s conference is entirely
virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, representing unique challenges and opportunities
for the conference program.
 
Our world-class team of 19 Technical Program Committee members returned insightful reviews
for 29 submissions. Each paper received between three and four reviews, thus providing
ample and valuable feedback to the authors, and ensuring high confidence on the outcome
of the review process. Out of the 29 submissions, 10 were accepted.
 
The technical program comprises five technical sessions that cover a number of hot topics
in high-performance interconnection networks. The paper sessions open with hardware related
papers, and are followed by a session on frameworks and architectures. Our second day has
three sessions: one session is dedicated to advances in machine learning for networks; a
second session centers on topologies and routing; and our last session concentrates on
containers and virtualization. In addition to the technical papers sessions we have two
distinguished keynote speakers, Michael Kagan (NVIDIA) and Brian Barrett (AWS EC2), in
addition to two invited talks on cutting-edge network design.
 
The organization of a major conference such as Hot Interconnects is a demanding and
time-consuming task. We would like to thank the TPC members for their thorough reviews
and active participation, despite the traditionally short review cycle of Hot Interconnects
(less than one month). Owing to their dedication and promptness, Hot Interconnects is able
to bring you high-quality, up-to-the-minute contributions.
 
We especially thank General Chairs Don Draper and Khaled Hamidouche for their leadership and
guidance and for their enormous contributions in organizing this meeting. In addition, we
would like to express our gratitude to the members of the Organizing Committee for their
contributions.
 
Finally, and most importantly, we thank the technical paper authors, keynote and tutorial
presenters, and panelists for their excellent contributions that make this event the premier
international conference for high-performance interconnects.
 
We hope you will enjoy the symposium!
