Authors are invited to submit full papers on all aspects of high-performance computer architecture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Processor architectures * Cache and memory architectures * Parallel computer architectures * Impact of VLSI scaling techniques * Novel architectures for emerging applications * Power-efficient architectures * High-availability architectures * High-performance I/O architectures * Embedded and reconfigurable architectures * Real-time architectures * Interconnection networks and network interfaces * Innovative hardware/software trade-offs * Simulation and performance evaluation * Benchmarking and measurements Please check the following web site for paper submission information: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/hpca9/ The submission should not exceed 6000 words. Papers that exceed the length limit or that cannot be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 3.0 or higher) may not be reviewed. The official submission deadline is July 12, 2002 (Midnight EST, USA). An automatic extension of one week will be given without request. No further extensions will be given. Papers may be submitted for blind review at the option of the authors. Please indicate whether the paper is a student paper for best student paper nominations. Please submit proposals for workshops to the workshop chair by July 12, 2002.

Will Medea kill Jason's sons?" Call for Paper Scope and Motivation MEDEA-2002 aims to continue the high level of interest in the first two MEDEA Workshops held with PACT'00 and PACT'01. In the previous versions MEDEA (MEmory access DEcoupled Architectures) focused on Access Decoupling, Thread Level Parallelism, ILP, Latency tolerating techniques and related issues. Currently, there is a great interest in On-Chip Multiprocessors both for general purpose and embedded systems. Moreover, there is a growing interest in the resource clusterization, mu ltithreading, Thr ead and Instruction Level Parallelism, power consumption, latency reducing techniques and workload characterizations. The MEDEA-2002 Workshop wants to be a forum for academic and industrial people to meet, discuss and exchange their ideas and experience on On-Chip Multiprocessor issues, solutions, challenges, both in the technical, general purpose and in the embedded horizon. MEDEA-2002 is seeking submissions describing ideas and experience with On Chip Multiprocessor systems and solutions from other fields applicable to them. The format of the workshop will include presentations of selected papers and discussion after each presentation. Accepted papers appear in a special issue of the ACM SigArch Computer Architecture News. The workshop committee may invite authors to extend their papers for inclusion in the special issue. Topics of Interest On-chip Multiprocessors (OCM) - architectures - issues - solutions - multithreading - cache and memo ry sub-systems - coherence protocols - development tools - applications - power consumption - solutions for embedded, commercial, scientific and technical workloads - performance evaluation - optimization Academic and Industrial Experience in OCM - high performance - general purpose - embedded Code optimization techniques Memory Access Decoupling Processor Architecture Latency Tolerance and Reduction techniques Instruction Level and Thread Level Parallelism System on Chip Workload characterization Information for Authors The papers should be at most 10 pages in length. The abstracts and papers should be submitted in either postscript or PDF format by email to the workshop-organizing members: Pierfrancesco Foglia and Sandro Bartolini. Paper should be written in standard IEEE format for conference proceedings. Hard copy (postal) submissions will not be accepted. Please email submiss ions by July, 10 20 02. You receive an acknowledgment of your submission by the following week. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by August 1, 2002 and the final papers are due by August 7, 2002. To speed-up the reviewing process, we encourage also submission of abstract by July, 3 2002. All submissions will be refereed, and informal proceedings will be printed and distributed at the workshop. Accepted papers appear in a special issue of the ACM SigArch Computer Architecture News. The workshop committee may invite authors to extend their papers for inclusion in the special issue. Important Dates July, 3 2002 Abstract Submission July, 10 2002 Paper Submission Deadline August, 1 2002 Acceptance Notification August, 7 2002 Final Papers Due September, 22 2002 Workshop and PACT will start in Charlottesville, Virginia Registration and accomodation Attendees are requested to go to the hosting PACT'02 conference to perform the registrati on to Medea-2002 and make room reservations in the conference hotels. We strongly suggest that you make your room reservation in advance and register before the advance registration deadline to benefit from combined PACT'02/Medea'02 registration fees.
