SIGMICRO Goals

Provide a forum for discussing the state-of-the-art in computer

microarchitecture and for stimulating the advancement of that state

– Focus on microprocessor architectures – The integrated software stack is also key; e.g. in embedded systems

Disseminate information from academic and industrial sources

through focused sponsorship of flagship conferences, emerging interest workshops and minority outreach programs

– Key examples: MICRO, CGO, ESWEEK, CF + CRA-W Workshop [new!] – “In Cooperation” roles in many others

Encourage interaction between researchers, educators, students and

industry practitioners in the field

– Facilitate easy access to computing resources for worthy research projects
