CHIA Tutorial : Hands-on Agentic AI-driven Architecture Research
co-located with MICRO 2026
Saturday, October 31, 2026
We are excited to announce a hands-on, interactive tutorial covering how to construct and deploy custom Agentic AI-driven architecture research and co-design workflows with CHIA (https://chialoops.ai).
By the end of the tutorial you’ll have built and run your own custom agentic HW/SW co-design workflow: composing CHIA nodes, putting an LLM agent in the loop, scaling it across a cluster, and using it to automatically customize an industry- and silicon-proven RISC-V design.
All resources are provided by us: attendees only need to bring a laptop with WiFi. We’ll provide cloud compute and all required AI model access free-of-charge to in-person attendees, and over ten students and faculty who work hands-on with AI-driven hardware design and CHIA will be in the room to help.
To attend in person, register for MICRO 2026 (https://www.microarch.org/micro59/attend/register.php) and select the Agentic AI-driven Design tutorial on the registration form.

Submitted by Mathias Pacher
ARCS 2027 : Unconventional Computing, Beyond von Neumann Computing
Magdeburg, Germany
March 9 -11 2027
The ARCS conferences series has a 40-year tradition on reporting leading-edge research in computer architectures and operating systems. Modern workloads particularly AI/ML and Big Data processing, manipulate enormous amounts of data. As data movement increasingly dominates system design,
conventional von Neumann architectures face fundamental constraints in performance, efficiency, and sustainability. The focus of the ARCS’27 conference will be on unconventional computing covering computer architectures and computing paradigms that explore alternative ways of representing, storing, and processing information
In addition to the main conference, ARCS will host:
The proceedings of ARCS 2027 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series.

The 35th IEEE International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM 2027)
May 9 – 12, 2027, Provo, Utah, USA
Conference Site: https://www.fccm.org
Submission Site: https://fccm27.hotcrp.com/
The IEEE Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines is the original and premier forum for presenting and discussing new research related to computing that exploits the unique features and capabilities of FPGAs and other reconfigurable hardware. Over the past three decades, FCCM has been the place to present papers on architectures, tools, and programming models for field-programmable custom computing machines as well as applications that use such systems.
Topics of Interest
Submission Guidelines
Research submissions can be in either of two categories:
FCCM uses a double-blind review system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations. In addition, papers must not be simultaneously under review or waiting to appear at another conference or in a journal and must not be essentially the same as any paper that has been previously published.
AI policy: Per IEEE policy, the use of content generated by AI in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code), except editing and grammar enhancement, shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. Failure of proper disclosure may result in a desk reject.
For more detailed submission guidelines, please refer to https://www.fccm.org/call-for-papers-2027/.
Important Dates
All deadlines are in the Anywhere on Earth (UTC– 12) time zone

A3: Workshop on Agentic Approaches to Architecture
Co-located with MICRO 2026
November 1, 2026
Athens, Greece
https://agentic-arch.org
The A3 workshop explores the paradigm shift toward reasoning-capable AI agents in computer architecture. A3 centers on agentic methodologies which leverage AI reasoning and planning, combined with agentic tool use, perception, and iterative refinement/memory, to make impactful contributions to computer architecture and surrounding fields.
The primary goal of A3 is to foster a collaborative community focused on agentic methodologies in computer architecture. By bringing together researchers in this emerging area, the workshop aims to establish an open forum for sharing preliminary research and establishing core best practices through expert presentations and panel sessions. We welcome 2-4 page submissions that advance the frontier of agentic methodologies throughout the hardware/software co-design ecosystem.
Topics of Interest: https://agentic-arch.org/call-for-papers.html
Agentic discovery for architecture
Agentic cross-stack HW/SW co-design
Dynamically adapting agentic systems for hardware
Infrastructure for agents for hardware
Engineering and analysis of agents for hardware
Making hardware design tools better for Agents
Topics may span architecture and all related fields
e.g. EDA, VLSI, HW/SW co-design, compilers, systems, and more.
Submission Guidelines:
Paper length: 2-4 pages with IEEE or ACM format, excluding references
Other requirements will broadly follow those of conferences like ASPLOS, ISCA, and MICRO. Use of AI-assistance in paper writing is welcomed, but must be acknowledged at the end of the paper. Human authors are responsible for the entire contents, tone, and quality of their paper.
Important Dates:
Abstract Registration Deadline: September 14 AoE
Paper Submission Deadline: September 21, AoE
