parallelism: superscalar, VLIW, data-parallel, multithreaded, multicore,
manycore, etc.
* Compiler and microarchitectural techniques for parallelism (ILP,
TLP, MLP)
* Low-power, high-performance, and cost/complexity-efficient
architectures

tablets, cloud/datacenter, etc.
* Architectures and compilers for embedded processors, DSPs, GPUs,
ASIPs (network processors, multimedia, wireless, etc.)
* Advanced software/hardware speculation and prediction schemes
* Microarchitecture techniques to better support system software,
programming languages, programmability, and compilation
