announcing the launch of
********** Computer Architecture Letters *********
***** A refereed forum for technical letters *****
Beginning with the January, 2002 issue, the Newsletter of the TCCA is
changing name and focus. Computer Architecture Letters will be a
quarterly forum for short, critically refereed, technical "letters",
with an emphasis on rapid review and publication. Accepted letters
will be published immediately on the TCCA website and in the next
available paper issue. We are seeking immediate submissions for our
inaugural issue in January.
All submissions must consist of original work. Submitted letters must
be four pages or fewer, including all figures, tables, and references.
Submissions exceeding this length will be returned without review.
Papers should use 8.5in x 11in (21.55cm x 28cm) paper with 1-in
(2.5cm) margins, 10-pt. or larger font, and single spacing. Please
submit electronically in postscript or PDF, and ensure that the
submitted file can be viewed in ghostview or Acrobat Reader 3.0. No
hard copy is necessary.
Submissions will be accepted on a continuing basis, but to ensure
publication in the January issue, manuscripts should be submitted by
Dec. 21, 2001. Authors should direct their submissions to the TCCA
website at http://www.computer.org/tab/tcca/ and each submission will
be assigned to an appropriate member of the Editorial Board to manage
the review process. Upon acceptance, a standard IEEE copyright release
will be required. For questions, please send e-mail to
tcca@cs.virginia.edu.
Submissions are welcomed on any topic in computer architecture,
especially but not limited to:
- Microprocessor and multiprocessor systems
- Microarchitecture and ILP processors
- Workload characterization
- Performance evaluation and simulation techniques
- Compiler-hardware and operating system-hardware interactions
- Interconnect architectures
- Power and thermal issues at the architecture level
- I/O architectures and techniques
- Independent validation of previously published results
- Analysis of unsuccessful techniques
- Network and embedded-systems processors
- Real-time and high-availability architectures
- Reconfigurable systems

Title: Errata on "Measuring Experimental Error in Microprocessor Simulation"
Authors: Rajagopalan Desikan, Doug Burger, Stephen W. Keckler, Llorenc Cruz,
Fernando Latorre, Antonio Gonza'lez and Mateo Valero
Abstract: This short paper serves to correct the errors contained in
the paper entitled "Measuring Experimental Error in
Microprocessor Simulation," presented at the 2001
International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA-28).
That paper contained a study of a validated
microarchitectural simulator called sim-alpha, and included
a case study that compared results obtained from a
configuration of sim-alpha to those reported by Cruz et
al. in ISCA 2000. The comparison showed a disparity in the
results between the two studies, which was invalid due to an
error in the way the operand bypass network of sim-alpha was
modified. In this paper, we present a revised comparison
that models the bypass network in sim-alpha consistently
with the work of Cruz et al. We show that the new
comparison between the revised results and the Cruz paper
shows similar trends, thus validating the accuracy of the
Cruz paper's methodology and results.
This paper is to appear in the March 2002 issue of Computer
Architecture News (CAN), but is available now at:

Micro-34 Invitation:
The MICRO-34 organizing committee is pleased to announce that MICRO-34
will take place in Austin, Texas from Dec. 2 to Dec. 5, 2001. MICRO
continues to be the premier technical forum for microarchitecture. It
is well attended by both academics and industry people whose expertise
is in the design, understanding, and tradeoffs of microprocessors.
Austin is unique: a focal point of high tech industry, a world-class
university, and a cultural center known for its live music, diversity,
and restaurants. Austin provides a spectacular and enjoyable location
for Micro-34. Plan to enjoy a profound technical program, but also
this unique location.
We have chosen the Marriott as the conference hotel. It is ideally
situated, a short walk from Austin's famous 6th Street (live music and
restaurants), the Texas state capitol building, and The University of
Texas.
As always, students are especially encouraged to attend Micro-34. We
expect a record amount of funding for student travel grants through
generous corporate sponsorship. Details regarding student travel will
be made available.
Any questions or suggestions, please contact me at:
patt@ece.utexas.edu.
