Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2023 International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA)

国际计算机体系结构研讨会（ISCA），作为计算机体系结构前沿进展的首要论坛而闻名，为交流最先进的研究提供了一个特殊的平台。该奖项为参加2023年6月17日至21日在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的这一旗舰会议的多达75名学生提供旅行支持。在过去的五十年里，ISCA在促进计算行业取得显著进步方面发挥了关键作用。来自世界各地的学术界和工业界的杰出与会者为会议的多元化和充满活力的气氛做出了贡献。在广泛的会议中，会议涵盖了许多类别的最新发展，包括核心微架构主题，机器学习，安全性等等。主题演讲深入探讨了过去50年来通过ISCA出版物记录的历史技术进步。通过参与社交活动，学生有宝贵的机会与受人尊敬的领导人在计算，经验丰富的专业人士和后起之秀互动。在2023年，ISCA自豪地纪念其成立50周年，恰逢联合计算研究会议（FCRC），一个高质量的会议和研讨会在更广泛的计算机科学领域的集合，每四年举行一次。这个奖项的好处是三重的。首先，通过提高学生的参与度，它扩大了正在提出的开创性研究的可见性，同时纪念这一重要会议的50年遗产。其次，本科生和大三研究生可以参加独家课程，如“遇见高级建筑师”和“遇见高级学生”，这有助于与经验丰富的专业人士进行有意义的交流和互动。这些举措通过提供宝贵的指导机会来增强会议体验。最后，旅行奖特别强调支持来自传统上代表性不足的群体的学生，与ISCA对多样性和包容性的承诺保持一致。通过解决财政障碍，该奖项致力于创造一个更具包容性的环境，以反映计算机体系结构领域的广泛人才。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA), renowned as the premier forum for cutting-edge advancements in computer architecture, offers an exceptional platform for exchange of state-of-the art research. This award provides travel support for up to 75 students attending this flagship conference on June 17-21, 2023, in Orlando, FL. Over the past five decades, ISCA has played a pivotal role in fostering remarkable progress within the computing industry. Distinguished attendees, representing both academia and industry from all over the world, contribute to the conference’s diverse and vibrant atmosphere. Within a wide array of sessions, the conference encompasses the latest developments across many categories, including core microarchitecture topics, machine learning, security, and much more. The keynotes delve into the historical technological advancements of the past 50 years as chronicled through ISCA publications. Through engaging social events, students have the invaluable opportunity to interact with esteemed leaders in computing, both seasoned professionals and rising stars. In 2023, ISCA proudly commemorates its 50th anniversary, coinciding with the Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC), a collection of high-quality conferences and workshops in the broader field of Computer Science, held once every four years.The benefits of this award are threefold. Firstly, by promoting increased student participation, it amplifies the visibility of the groundbreaking research being presented while honoring the 50-year legacy of this premier conference. Secondly, undergraduate and junior graduate students gain access to exclusive programs such as “Meet a Senior Architect” and “Meet a Senior Student,” which foster meaningful communication and interactions with experienced professionals. These initiatives enhance the conference experience by providing valuable mentorship opportunities. Lastly, the travel award places a particular emphasis on supporting students from traditionally underrepresented groups, aligning with ISCA’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. By addressing financial barriers, the award strives to create a more inclusive environment that reflects the broad spectrum of talent in the field of computer Architecture.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.
