Sat Nov 7 10:19:21 CST 2009 http://www.eecs.northwestern.edu/activities-accolades/#532 http://www.eecs.northwestern.edu/activities-accolades#532 A paper co-authored by Nikos Hardavellas, Assistant Professor of EECS, was selected for the IEEE Micro special issue "Top Picks from Computer Architecture Conferences". Each year, IEEE Micro selects the most significant research papers in computer architecture based on novelty and long-term impact, and publishes revised versions of them in its January/February special issue. This year, a committee of senior computer architects selected 12 papers. Prof. Hardavellas' selected paper, "Reactive NUCA: Near-Optimal Block Placement and Replication in Distributed Caches", was published in the proceedings of the 36th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA'09). It describes a novel cache architecture for multicore processors that places data close to the cores that use them to provide fast data access, while at the same time greatly simplifying the design of the cache. <br><br> Visit Nikos Hardavellas' <a href="http://www.eecs.northwestern.edu/~hardav/">website</a>.
