NSF Student Travel Support for the 52nd IEEE/ACM Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO)

IEEE/ACM微体系结构研讨会(MICO)是计算机体系结构领域的旗舰会议。2019年年会以及几个相关主题的搭配研讨会将于2019年10月在俄亥俄州哥伦布市举行。该会议是一个重要的场所，用于报道当前关于重要主题的研究，这些主题解决了计算中的重大挑战，例如，即将到来的摩尔定律导致计算机器性能下降。Micro是一个展示、讨论、辩论该计划支持的主要研究成果的场所，并绘制了未来研究方向的图表。该奖项将通过支付他们在Micro 2019年的部分旅费和出勤费来支持大约30名学生。由于参加微型计算机课程可以被视为学术界计算机系统设计教育和研究的一个组成部分，这项建议将大大有助于支持信息技术这一重要领域的劳动力发展。来自科技公司的顶尖研究人员出席了这次微型会议，并为学术界和产业界之间的互动提供了基础，从而潜在地加强了对当前和未来社会需求问题的技术转让。发放给学生的补助金旨在增加参与者的多样性，从而在补助金资助的参与者中代表人数不足的群体和其他群体之间保持平衡。项目完成后，获奖者将向NSF提交一份报告，其中包含学生经历的详细信息以及支持他们参加会议和与之配套的研讨会的支出细节。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The IEEE/ACM Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO) is a flagship conference in the area of computer architecture. The 2019 annual conference, along with several collocated workshops on related topics, will take place in Columbus, Ohio in October 2019. The conference is an important venue for reporting current research on important topics addressing grand challenges in computing resulting, e.g., from the impending Moore's law slowdown of performance of computing machines. MICRO is a venue where major results of research supported by the program gets presented, discussed, debated and future direction of research are charted. This award will support approximately 30 students by defraying part of their cost for travel and attendance for MICRO 2019. Since attendance to MICRO can be viewed as an integral part of computer systems design education and research in academia, the proposal would go a long way towards supporting workforce development in the important area information technology. The MICRO conference is attended by leading researchers from technology companies and provides a basis for interaction between academia and industry, thus potentially enhancing technology transfer on problems of current and future societal needs. The grants to students seek to enhance the diversity of the attendees, thus maintain a balance between underrepresented and other groups among the participants supported from the grant. Upon completion of the project, the awardee will submit a report to NSF with details of student experiences and the details of the expenditures towards supporting them to attend the conference and workshops collocated with it.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
