Hardware

For each paper, identify its primary contribution and assign it to the single most appropriate category below.

Processor Microarchitecture

Focuses on a single processing core and its components. Includes:

• Instruction set design
• Branch prediction
• Other core-level components and techniques

Parallel and Multi-Processor Architecture

Covers systems with multiple processing units and their interactions. Includes:

• Multi-core processor architecture
• Many-core processor architecture
• GPU architecture
• Cache coherence protocols
• Memory consistency models
• System-level integration techniques such as:
  • Chiplets
  • 3D stacking

Memory Architecture

Concerns memory subsystems and their interactions. Includes:

• Memory hierarchy design
• 存算
  • Processing-in-Memory (PIM)
  • Processing-Near-Memory (PNM)
  • Computation-in-Memory (CIM)

Interconnection Networks

Addresses the communication fabric. Includes:

• Network-on-Chip (NoC) - topology, routing, flow control
• Note: Focus should be on the network itself, not primarily on using it to build a parallel architecture. Most CXL papers likely belong in other categories unless the primary contribution is the CXL protocol/architecture itself.

Domain-Specific Accelerators

Concerns accelerators tailored for specific applications. Includes:

• Reconfigurable architectures like FPGA/CGRA
• Accelerators for domains such as AI, graph processing, bioinformatics, etc.

Security and Reliability

Covers hardware mechanisms for trust and resilience. Includes:

• Side-channel countermeasures (hardware aspects)
• Fault detection/mitigation hardware

Emerging Technologies

Explores architectures based on novel technologies or paradigms. Includes:

• Quantum computing architectures
• Photonic computing architectures
• Note: CIM should be grouped under Memory Architecture.
