MICRO-32 -- THE 32ND ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON MICROARCHITECTURE
HAIFA, ISRAEL, NOV. 15-18, 1999 -- 
http://arch.cs.ucdavis.edu/Micro32.

Fred Pollack, Director of Intel Corp.'s Microprocessor Research Labs, & 
Dr. Bruce D. Shriver, of Genesis2, Inc. To Speak

New York, NY, Oct. 25, 1999 -- From handheld remotes, to VCRs, to 
Internet appliances and personal computers, microprocessor technology 
is used throughout the consumer and industrial world.  MICRO-32, the 
32nd annual International Symposium on Microarchitecture, will bring 
together top researchers from universities and major corporations in 
Haifa, Israel from Nov. 15 to 18, 1999.  Compaq, Hewlett Packard, IBM, 
Intel, Lucent, Microsoft and Motorola are just a few of the 
microprocessor leaders represented at this high- tech conference, as 
well as leading universities like the University of Illinois, Michigan, 
Wisconsin and others.

Now in its 32nd year, MICRO is the premier scientific conference on 
Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) research.  It is considered to be 
the premier forum for publishing original and significant new technical 
results, providing an advanced look at the products and services they 
will be supporting. 

"Consumer and industrial applications for microprocessors are 
exploding," said Abraham Lempel, Technion Professor and Director of the 
Hewlett-Packard Israel Research Lab.  "This year's MICRO-32 symposium 
presents an important collection of the latest industrial and academic 
microarchitecture news.  The symposium's location in Haifa demonstrates 
that Israel is an important high-tech center."

Fred Pollack, Director of Intel Corp.'s Microprocessor Research Labs, 
added, "The Israeli high-tech industry offers innovative and diverse 
state-of-the-art capabilities.  It is no wonder that major 
multinational companies like Intel, IBM, HP, Microsoft, and many more, 
now operate research and development centers in Israel.  This year's 
site for MICRO-32 recognizes Israel's key role in computer-related 
research."

Mr. Pollack will deliver the keynote address on Tuesday, November 16: 
"New Microarchitecture Challenges in the Coming Generations of CMOS 
Process Technologies."  Dr. Bruce D. Shriver, of Genesis2, Inc., will 
discuss "Core Technologies in Hardware and Software," during his talk 
on Wednesday, November 17.

MICRO-32 will host three tutorials/workshops.  The Feedback-Directed 
Optimization (FDO) -workshop addresses the burgeoning field of 
information collected on runtime to improve program performance.  The 
Cool Chips tutorial, with speakers from leading microprocessor 
companies, will discuss low power microprocessor design and low power 
issues. The first Media Processors and DSPs workshop, with researchers, 
computer architects and engineers, will examine multimedia and digital 
processing.

MICRO-32 is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) 
special interest group on microarchitecture (SIGMICRO) and the 
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., (IEEE) 
technical committee of microarchitecture (TC-MARCH).  MICRO-32 is 
supported by Intel Corp., Microsoft Corp., Hewlett Packard Company, IBM 
Corp., SGI and Netvision, Inc.
