Machine learning-driven computer architecture tools and methods have the potential to drastically shape the future of computer architecture. The question is: how can we lay the foundation to effectively usher in this era? In this post, we delve into the
Recent IEEE Computer Architecture Letters Publications (2022 Issue1)
In this blog post, we highlight recent publications from the IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (CAL) from the IEEE Computer Architecture Letter Vol. 21 (Issue1 • Jan-Jun2022). We include a short summary if provided by the authors. IEEE CAL Editorial Board
In Memoriam — Michel Dubois (April 25, 1953 – July 7, 2022)
With deep sadness and great sorrow, we inform the community about the recent passing of our dear friend and colleague, Professor Michel Dubois, a foundational leader in our field of computer architecture and parallel processing. Michel earned his Bachelor’s degree
SIGARCH/TCCA Best Practices & Resources
Scientific progress relies on sound reviewing processes. The integrity of our review process is paramount, and it rests on our handling of ethical concerns and conflicts of interest. These issues have been compounded by the rapid growth in the computer
HPCA 2022 Trip Report
This is a repost from the ACM SigArch blog. Welcome to the trip report on the 28th IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA-28)! This marks the second fully-virtual HPCA (and hopefully last). With signs of the COVID-19 pandemic
How did the road to new adventure in Superconductor Neural Network Accelerator happen?
1: What is Superconductor SFQ? Moore’s Law, doubling the number of transistors in a chip every two years, has so far contributed to the evolution of computer systems. Unfortunately, we cannot expect sustainable transistor shrinking anymore, marking the beginning of
Happy Birthday, CASA!: A Retrospective
With MICRO upon us, I would like to take time to reflect on the events running up to the establishment of CASA or the Computer Architecture Student Association. This month we will be celebrating our first anniversary as an active
Message from the Inaugural IEEE SEED 2021 Program Chairs
Dear Computer Architecture Community, We take this opportunity to invite you all to the first-ever edition of the IEEE International Symposium on Secure and Private Execution Environment Design (SEED). This blog post will provide an overview of the inaugural edition of IEEE
Advancing and Promoting DEI in Computer Architecture–Summer 2021 Reading Group
Across the computer systems and architecture community, there has been A Call to Action to advance and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) values through systemic change. Towards this step, HPCA 2021, PPoPP 2021, CGO 2021, and CC 2021 held
Best Practices for Conference Reviewing: An Invitation for Community Feedback
As with all scientific communities, the field of computer architecture is driven by publications. At the heart of a meaningful scientific publication model is a fair and sound peer-reviewing process. If this process is compromised, some papers might be unfairly
