点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) is a premier forum for presenting, discussingand debating new and innovative architectural ideas and techniques for advanced computing andcommunication systems. This symposium brings together researchers in fields related to processor architecture,compilers, chips, and systems. This proposal aims to support this highly regarded conference byobtaining travel support for students in order to defray the costs of attending and participating in the ISCAconference in June, 2013 in Tel Aviv, Israel. Priority will be given to UScitizens and permanent residents, students from under-represented groups, and studentsthat will be presenting their research at ISCA or its joint workshops. The ISCA conference will be strengthened as aresult of the greater attendance that this travel support will enable. Students receiving travelsupport will personally benefit from the opportunity to interact with peers and experts, as well as establishconnections that will help their professional careers.More broadly, we expect additional indirect impacts. First, we plan to widely advertise the availablesupport in order to attract women and under-represented minority groups (through postings on computerarchitecture web-sites and mailing lists). Second, by focusing on students, the grant will help foster thementoring of subsequent generations of computer architects.
