                         CALL FOR PAPERS & PARTICIPATION

                                     MICRO-25
           THE 25th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MICROARCHITECTURE

                            with special emphasis on
                 Instruction-Level Parallel Processing Technology

                              Portland, Oregon, USA
                                December 1-4, 1992

                  Sponsored by ACM SIGMICRO and IEEE CS TC-Micro
                       with support from Intel Corporation


     For the last quarter century, the annual MICRO conference has been a key
     forum  for presenting major breakthroughs in computer microarchitecture.
     In particular, its technical papers have made significant  contributions
     to  the  technologies  underlying VLIW and superscalar processors.  Last
     year's  MICRO-24  was  the  first  of   the   major   conferences   with
     instruction-level   parallelism   as   its   primary  focus.   With  the
     instruction-level parallel  processing  technology  developing  rapidly,
     this  year's  conference promises to be the premier forum for discussion
     and debate on this technology.  We invite all  leading  researchers  and
     designers to participate in this landmark meeting in Portland, Oregon to
     discuss new directions in instruction-level parallel processing.

     This 25th anniversary meeting of MICRO will start with an  invited  lec-
     ture  series  on  critical  components of the instruction-level parallel
     processing technology. The lectures will  address  compiler,  processor,
     and fabrication technologies.

     The conference seeks original papers concerning all aspects of  microar-
     chitecture  including  implementation  and  compilation for VLIW, super-
     scalar,  superpipelined,  and  multiprocessor  systems.  The  topics  of
     interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

     o+    Instruction-level Parallel Processing: Compiler and Hardware  Tech-
          nologies

     o+    Tradeoffs: Compiler, Architecture, and Microarchitecture

     o+    Processor, Memory System, and I/O Microarchitectures

     o+    Code Scheduling and Optimization Techniques

     o+    Cost and Performance Tradeoffs in Real Machines

     o+    VLIW and Superscalar Compiler Design and Implementation

     o+    Hardware and Software Issues for VLIW and  Superscalar  Based  Mul-
          tiprocessors

     o+    Compatibility and Portability

     o+    High Level Synthesis and Testability

     The deadline for submission of papers is June 16, 1992.  Five copies  of
     the original manuscript, not exceeding 5000 words, should be sent to the
     General Chair.  The identification  of  the  primary  author,  including
     name,  affiliation,  address,  e-mail  address,  phone  number,  and FAX
     number, should appear on the title page.  Each  copy  should  include  a
     100-word abstract and five keywords.

     All papers will be refereed by members of the program committee who  are
     familiar  with  the  topic  and  by  outside  referees.   Papers will be
     accepted  as   either   full   or   short   papers.    Notification   of
     acceptance/rejection  will  occur  by August 18, 1992.  The camera ready
     copy of the accepted papers will be due on September 22, 1992.

     Proposals for special sessions (panel discussions and working group dis-
     cussions) should be sent to the General Chair by June 16, 1992.
