Student Travel Grants for IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization

IEEE工作负载表征国际研讨会(IISWC)由IEEE计算机学会和计算机体系结构技术委员会主办，致力于了解和表征在从PDA和嵌入式系统到大规模并行超级计算机等所有类型的计算系统上运行的工作负载。虽然计算工作负载随着微体系结构、编译器、编程语言和网络/通信技术的进步而发展和变化，但计算技术的真正改进通常基于对现有商业和研究工作负载的坚实理解和分析。该奖项为参加会议的学生提供旅行和住宿支持，并受益于主题演讲、小组讨论和演讲，以及与其他与会者的互动。更好地了解计算机系统工作负荷是确定改进计算机系统的领域的关键组成部分。提高学生在这一领域的知识和意识可以带来更好的研究和更好的实际系统。

The IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization (IISWC), sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and the Technical Committee on Computer Architecture, is dedicated to the understanding and characterization of workloads that run on all types of computing systems ranging from PDAs and embedded systems up through massively parallel supercomputers. Though computing workloads evolve and change with advances in micro-architecture, compilers, programming languages, and networking/communication technologies, real improvements in computing technology are often based on a solid understanding and analysis of existing commercial and research workloads. This award provides travel and lodging support for students to attend the conference and benefit from the keynote, panels, and talks, as well as interacting with the other attendees. Better understanding of computer system workloads is a critical component to identifying areas to improve computer systems. Improving student knowledge and awareness in this area could result in both better research and better real systems.
