                               CALL FOR PAPERS
    The 41st Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Microarchitecture
                                  (MICRO-41)
                             November 8-12, 2008
                               Lake Como, Italy

                       http://www.microarch.org/micro41

              Co-sponsored by IEEE-CS TC-uARCH and ACM SIGMICRO
========================================================================
======

The 41st International Symposium on Microarchitecture is the premier
forum for
presenting, discussing, and debating innovative microarchitecture ideas
and
techniques for advanced computing and communication systems. This
symposium
brings together researchers in fields related to microarchitecture,
compilers,
chips, and systems for technical exchange on traditional
microarchitecture
topics and emerging research areas. The MICRO community has enjoyed a
close
interaction between academic researchers and industrial designers and we
aim
to continue this tradition at MICRO-41. Papers are solicited in fields
including (but not limited to) the following:

* Architectures and designs for concurrency: superscalar, VLIW, data
parallel,
  multithreaded, multicore, transactional, etc.
* Compiler techniques for instruction, thread, and memory-level
parallelism
* Architectures and compilers for graphics/gaming, embedded processors,
DSPs,
  ASIPs (network, multimedia, wireless, etc.)
* Dynamic optimization, emulation, and object code translation
* Software/hardware speculation and prediction schemes
* Low and ultra-low power designs, design efficiency optimizations 
* Microarchitecture support for reliability, dependability, and security
* Microarchitecture modeling and simulation methodology
* Architectures for new computing paradigms/emerging technologies 
* Measurement and analysis of real systems
* Novel memory and storage architectures
* Novel interconnection fabrics, NOCs, optical, etc.

Qualitative papers: In addition to traditional papers, authors are
encouraged
to submit manuscripts with more forward-looking, bold, and/or
unconventional
ideas (still within the scope of MICRO). Such qualitative papers will be
evaluated more on novelty, creativity, and inherent value propositions,
and
less on implementation and experimental evaluation. Nevertheless, they
should
provide some indication as to the potential merits of the proposed
ideas, such
as preliminary evaluations that extrapolate the potential. Both classes
of
papers will be considered equally for inclusion based on overall merit.

SUBMISSION DEADLINES: Paper abstracts are due on May 13, 2008. Final
paper
submissions are due on May 20, 2008. All submissions will be made
electronically and no extensions will be granted. For more information
please
