The International Symposium on Microarchitecture® (MICRO) is the premier forum for the presentation and discussion of new ideas in microarchitecture, compilers, hardware/software interfaces, and design of advanced computing and communication systems. The goal of MICRO is to bring together researchers in the fields of microarchitecture, compilers, and systems for technical exchange. The MICRO community has enjoyed having close interaction between academic researchers and industrial designers—we aim to continue and strengthen this longstanding tradition at the 56th MICRO in Toronto, Canada.

We invite original paper submissions related to (but not limited to) the following topics:

Microarchitectural, architectural, compiler, and hybrid techniques for improving system performance, power, energy-efficiency, security, cost, complexity, programmer productivity, predictability, quality of service, reliability, dependability, scalability, sustainability
Processor, memory, and storage architectures
Multicore and multiprocessor systems
Instruction-, thread-, and data-level parallelism
Prediction and Speculation
Memory Hierarchy
Cloud and datacenter-scale computing
IoT, mobile, and embedded architecture
Interconnection network, router, and network interface architecture
Accelerator-based, application-specific, and reconfigurable architectures
Architectural support for programming languages, compilation, software development, security and privacy, virtualization
Architectures for emerging technologies and applications
Architectural support for non-volatile/persistent memory
Quantum computing
In-/near-memory or in-/near-storage processing
Approximate computing and architectural support for approximation
Effects of circuits and technology on architecture
Architecture modeling and simulation methodologies
Evaluation and measurement of real computing systems

Submissions should follow the guidelines and formatting rules specified on the conference website (TBA). Papers that violate these guidelines and rules may be returned to author(s) without review.
