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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.

The amazing development of transistor technology has been the main driving force behind modern electronics. Over time, this process has slowed down introducing performance bottlenecks in data-intensive applications. A main cause is the classical von Neumann architecture, which entails constant data exchanges between processing units and data memory, wasting time and power. As a possible alternative, the Beyond von Neumann approach is now rapidly spreading. Although architectures following this paradigm vary a lot in layout and functioning, they all share the same principle: bringing computing elements as near as possible to memory while inserting customized processing elements, able to elaborate more data. Thus, power and time are saved through parallel execution and usage of processing components with local memory elements, optimized for running data-intensive algorithms. Here, a new memory-mapped co-processor (MeMPA) is presented to boost systems performance. MeMPA relies on a programmable matrix of fully interconnected processing blocks, each provided with memory elements, following the Multiple-Single Instruction Multiple Data model. Specifically, MeMPA can perform up to three different instructions, each on different data blocks, concurrently. Hence, MeMPA efficiently processes data-crunching algorithms, achieving energy and time savings up to 81.2% and 68.9%, respectively, compared with a RISC-V-based system. Full article
