The 36^th International Symposium on Microarchitecture is the premier forum for discussing new microarchitecture and software techniques. The goals of this symposium are to bring together researchers in fields related to processor architecture, compilers, and systems for technical interaction on traditional MICRO topics, with a special emphasis on optimizations to take advantage of application specific opportunities. In addition, this year’s MICRO will be looking for contributions that will benefit both the microarchitecture and embedded architecture communities. This year's conference will be held in sunny San Diego. Novel papers are solicited on a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to: · Feedback-Directed Hardware/Software Optimization · Dynamic optimization, emulation, and object code translation · Characterizing application behavior and its implication for architecture design and performance · Multiprocessor, multithreaded, superscalar and VLIW processors · Instruction level and thread level parallelism · Speculation, prediction and predication · Application Specific Processors (ASIPs) · Network processor and router architectures · Embedded architecture and software optimizations · Memory system performance · Power and energy optimization · Architecture modeling and simulation methodology · Performance evaluation and measurement of real systems IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract Submission Deadline: May 30^th, 2003 Full Paper Submission Deadline: June 6^th, 2003 Author Notification: August 8^th, 2003 There will be no deadline extensions. Please submit one electronic copy of the paper in PDF format using our website. For more information please consult the conference website: http://www.microarch.org/micro36
