As we close the book on 2025, Computer Architecture Today has seen another successful year of community engagement. We published 29 posts covering a wide spectrum of topics—from datacenter energy-efficiency to the evolving debate on LLMs in peer review, alongside trip reports from our major conferences. I want to thank all our authors for their insights, with special appreciation for those who contributed multiple times.

Over the last year, we shifted our editorial model, moving from a roster of set contributors to a more flexible, open-submission approach. We also re-established our conference trip reports, highlighting top architecture venues.

The blog thrives on new voices, and our door is always open. We are actively looking for:

• New Ideas: If you have a topic in mind, please propose it using this link or email me directly.

• Trip Reports: Planning to attend a conference? Volunteer to share your experience.

• Event Summaries: Organizers of workshops or tutorials are welcome to publicize their events through summary posts.

• Industry Perspectives: We would like to hear from our industry colleagues about their take on the future landscape of computer architecture.

Finally, as AI tools proliferate, the conversation around their role in our paper reviewing process is far from over. I look forward to seeing more of that debate here.

Here’s to the new advances in Computer Architecture in 2026!
