(August 21, 2006)--Faculty and students from the College's Computing Science and Systems (CSS) division, the Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems (CERCS), and Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) have had an unprecedented seven papers accepted to the 2006 International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO). MICRO is one of the premiere conferences for academic and industrial researchers in computer architecture and compiler-microarchitecture interaction. With only a 24% acceptance rate, the seven papers account for a dominating one-sixth of the 42 papers accepted to MICRO this year.

The seven accepted papers address issues such as traditional high-performance processor design, hardware support for security, hardware-compiler cooperation, and the impact of emerging technologies on microprocessors. This wide range of topics showcases the large variety of high-impact computer architecture and compiler research being conducted at Georgia Tech and our success within the computer architecture community. Congratulations to the following Computing faculty and students: Associate Professor Santosh Pande, Assistant Professor Hsien-Hsin "Sean" Lee, Assistant Professor Sung Kyu Lim, Assistant Professor Gabriel Loh, Assistant Professor Yannis Smaragdakis, graduate students Michael Healy, Fayez Mohamood, Weidong Shi, Samantika Subramaniam, Ranjith Subramanian, Kun Zhang, Tao Zhang, and Xiaotong Zhuang.
