THE 30^th ANNUAL IEEE/ACM INTERNATIONAL

SYMPOSIUM ON MICROARCHITECTURE

with special emphasis on Instruction-Level Parallel Processing

Sheraton Imperial Hotel Research Triangle Park, NC December 1 - 3, 1997

Co-sponsored by IEEE TC-MICRO and ACM SIGMICRO

Important dates: SUBMISSION: JUNE 20 Acceptance: AUG. 24 Final version: SEPT. 26

For the last three decades, MICRO has served as the premier forum for discussion of microarchitecture, instruction-level parallelism, and compiler technology. The 30^th International Symposium on Microarchitecture will continue this tradition by focusing on new techniques to extract high levels of instruction-level parallelism via hardware and software. The goals of this symposium are to bring together researchers in fields related to microarchitecture and instruction-level parallelism, to encourage technical interaction, and to advance the state of the art of high-performance microarchitectures and fine-grain parallel processing. Papers are solicited in fields including the following:

• Microarchitecture innovation, VLIW, superscalar, multiscalar, multithreaded, etc.
• Compiler techniques for instruction-level parallelism: software pipelining, global scheduling, register allocation, memory disambiguation, etc.
• Object code translation techniques
• Branch prediction hardware and software
• Theoretical foundations of instruction level parallelism
• Compiler/hardware techniques for improving memory system performance
• Application of instruction-level parallelism techniques to Design Automation
• Parallel algorithms for fine grain parallel architectures

THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS JUNE 20, 1997. Please submit one electronic copy of the paper in postscript format. The paper must not exceed 22 pages (12pt roman, 1 inch margins, double spaced). For submission instructions, please visit http://www.ece.ncsu.edu/micro30. Notification of acceptance will occur by August 24, 1997. The camera ready copy of the accepted papers will be due on September 26, 1997. In order to guarantee the success of your electronic submissions please make sure that your postscript submission can be previewed via the ghostview tool.
