The 46th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (Co-sponsored by IEEE-CS TC-uARCH ? and ACM SIGMICRO)

The 46th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (Co-sponsored by IEEE-CS TC-uARCH ? and ACM SIGMICRO)
http://www.microarch.org/micro46/

The International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO) is the premier forum for the presentation and discussion of new ideas in microarchitecture, compilers, hardware/software interfaces, and design of advanced computing and communication systems. The goal of MICRO is to bring together researchers in the fields of microarchitecture, compilers, and systems for technical exchange. The MICRO community has enjoyed having close interaction between academic researchers and industrial designers -- we aim to continue and strengthen this longstanding tradition at the 46th MICRO in Davis, California, USA.

We invite original paper submissions related, but not limited, to the following topics:
-- Processor, memory, interconnect, and storage architectures
-- Instruction, data, and thread-level parallelism
-- Advanced software/hardware speculation and prediction schemes
-- Power and energy efficient architectures
-- Secure, resilient, and predictable architectures
-- Architectural support for system software and compilation
-- Architectural support for programmer productivity
-- Dynamic optimization, emulation, and object code translation
-- Architecture modeling and simulation methodology
-- Analysis of real systems and emerging workloads
-- Effect of circuits and technology on architecture
-- Architectures for emerging technologies and applications
-- Application specific, reconfigurable, and embedded architectures and compilers
-- GPU architectures and compilers
-- Data-center scale computing
-- Architectures for handheld and mobile systems
-- Architectures and compilers for specialized and heterogeneous systems
