The International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO) is
the premier forum for the presentation and discussion of new 
ideas in microarchitecture, compilers, hardware/software 
interfaces, and design of advanced computing and communication 
systems. The goal of MICRO is to bring together researchers 
in the fields of microarchitecture, compilers, and systems 
for technical exchange. The MICRO community has enjoyed 
having close interaction between academic researchers and 
industrial designers---we aim to continue and strengthen 
this longstanding tradition at the 50th MICRO in 
Boston, Massachusetts.

We invite original paper submissions related to 
(but not limited to) the following topics:
* Processor, memory, interconnect, and storage architectures.
* Hardware, software, and hybrid techniques for improving 
  system performance, energy-efficiency, cost, complexity, 
  predictability, quality of service, reliability, 
  dependability, security, scalability, programmer 
  productivity, etc.
* Architectures for instruction-level, thread-level, 
  and memory-level 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.
* Architectures for emerging platforms, including 
  smartphones, cloud/datacenter, etc.
* Architectures and compilers for embedded processors, 
  DSPs, GPUs, ASIPs (network processors, multimedia, 
  wireless, deep learning, neuromorphic, etc.).
* Advanced software/hardware speculation and prediction schemes.
* Microarchitecture techniques to better support system 
  software, programming languages, programmability, and compilation.
* Microarchitecture modeling and simulation methodology.
* Insightful experimental and comparative evaluation and 
  analysis of existing microarchitectures, hardware/software 
  mechanisms and workloads.
