Scope and Motivation
--------------------
Most of today's advanced processor architectures are based
on the Superscalar and Multiple Issue paradigm.
These include MIPS-R10000, Power-PC, Ultra-Sparc, 
Alpha 21164 and 264, Pentium family.

Research has been developed to exploit Instruction Level 
Parallelism (ILP), Branch Prediction, Predicative Execution,
Speculative Loads, VLIW (e.g. Itanium, i.e. IA-64/EPIC),

Multithreaded Approach (Compaq EV8, i.e. Alpha 21464),
and Chip Multiprocessor (CMP, IBM Power4).

This workshop aims to bring up an old idea, Access Decoupling,
in this new arena. We wish to hear from people working in 
multithreading, Thread Level Parallelism, ILP, superscalar
processors, novel RAM architectures, memory hierarchy 
optimizations, data dependencies optimizations both from
compiler and architectural point of view.

Many research groups have recently revived Access Decoupling
and its now time to show how this paradigm can wide the 
spectrum of solutions to overcome the memory-wall problem.
In particular, we'd like to explore new sources for 
parallelism.

In this workshop, we wish to put in contact people interested
in evaluating how the old idea of memory access decoupling
could be applied in this new scenario as a viable alternative
to new processor designs.
