*** Resources: Micro-32 Symposium, Workshops, and Tutorials

If something more thoughtful than Comdex--and a destination more
interesting than Las Vegas--appeals to you, attend the thirty-
second annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Microarchitecture, to be held November 15-18 in Haifa, Israel.
The symposium has long provided one of the premier forums for
discussing and debating issues relating to instruction-level
parallelism, compilation techniques, and microarchitectures. On
Monday, November 15, you can choose from three workshops and
tutorials, covering feedback-directed optimization, media
processors and DSPs, and low-power processor design. The three-
day symposium on November 16-18, keynoted by Intel's Fred
Pollack, covers a wide range of current microarchitectural topics
presented by many leading academic researchers and a few
architects from industry. To get more information or to register,
