Call For Papers
Second HOT CHIPS Symposium
August 20-21, 1990, Santa Clara, CA
The second HOT CHIPS Symposium is scheduled for August
20-21, 1990 in Santa Clara, California. The Hot Chips Sym-
posium is a conference that consists of presentations on
high performance chip and chip-set products, and related
topics. Topics of interest include: high performance
microprocessors (both RISC and CISC), graphics and image
chips/coprocessors, floating point chips/coprocessors, digi-
tal signal processing chips, systolic chips, network
interface/controller chips, bus chips, cache chips and
memory system controllers, neural network chips, compiler
issues, benchmarking and performance evaluation, etc.
This conference is directed particularly at new and
exciting products. The emphasis is on real products, not
academic designs. Participants will not be required to
prepare written papers; the proceedings will consist of
copies of the slides to be presented, which must be avail-
able for duplication approximately one month prior to the
conference. There will probably be a special issue of IEEE
MICRO devoted to the symposium; those participants wishing
to have a paper in that issue will of course have to write
one.
The program committee for this conference consists of
Alan Jay Smith (UC Berkeley - Co-chair), John Crawford
(Intel - Co-chair), Forest Baskett (Silicon Graphics), Dave
Ditzel (Sun Microsystems), John Hennessy (Stanford Univer-
sity and MIPS), Dave Patterson (UC Berkeley), and Mario
Tokoro (Sony and Keio University).
This is a request for submission of proposals for
presentations at the conference. A proposal should consist
of a title, a one paragraph description of the product or
topic to be presented, and the name, title, address, phone
number, fax number and electronic mail address of the
presenter/person responsible. If this is a not yet
announced product, and you would like the submission kept
confidential, please indicate it; we will do our best to
maintain confidentiality.
The submission should be sent to Prof. Alan Jay Smith,
CS Division, EECS Department, University of California,
Berkeley, CA 94720, USA) and/or to John Crawford (Intel Cor-
poration, SC4-59, 2625 Walsh Avenue, Santa Clara, CA 95051,
USA). Electronic submissions or requests for additional
information should be sent to smith@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu or
crawford@mipos2.intel.com.
Please circulate this call for presentations to anyone
you know who might have something interesting to say. The
deadline for submissions of proposals is April 1, 1990,
although submissions received after that date may be con-
sidered if there is room in the program.
