IEEE Micro will publish its yearly “Micro’s Top Picks from the Computer Architecture Conferences” as its May / June 2017 issue. This issue collects some of this year’s most significant research papers in computer architecture based on novelty and potential for long-term impact. Any computer architecture paper (not a combination of papers) published in the top conferences of 2016 (including MICRO-49) is eligible. The Top Picks committee will recognize those significant and insightful papers that have the potential to influence the work of computer architects for years to come.
