59th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO 2026)
October 31 – November 04, 2026
Athens, Greece

The IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture® (MICRO) is the premier forum for the presentation and discussion of new ideas in microarchitecture, compilers, hardware/software interfaces, and the design of advanced computing and communication systems. The goal of MICRO is to bring together researchers in microarchitecture, compilers, and systems to foster technical exchange and advance the state of the art.

New for MICRO 2026: In addition to the main research track, MICRO 2026 will feature its inaugural Industry Track, designed to highlight deep technical insights from real-world, production-focused architectural work. The Industry Track has a dedicated call for papers and a tailored review process to better accommodate industry-specific contributions.

Submission information
Submissions must follow the formatting and submission guidelines specified on the conference website. Papers that violate these guidelines may be returned to the authors without review. All submissions will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference.

The Program Chair(s) are responsible for the paper selection process and do not submit papers to avoid potential bias. Program Committee members and the Organizing Committee, including the General Chair(s), are allowed to submit papers because of double-blind reviewing and conflict-of-interest declaration and enforcement. The rationale for explicitly allowing General Chair(s) to submit is that they do not participate in the paper selection process, nor are they involved in the Program Chair and Program Committee selection process. See here for the updated bylaws approved by the MICRO Steering Committee.
