Special Session on best papers from IEEE Computer Architecture Letters

IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (CA-Letters) and the IEEE  International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA) are pleased to announce a special session as part of HPCA 2012's core program on the "Best Papers from Computer Architecture Letters" from 2011.  All papers that were posted online or appeared in print in 2011 will be eligible.  The CA-Letters ed-board will nominate approx. 8 papers, and a committee of CA-Letters and HPCA representatives will make the final selection of 3-4 papers.  Authors of the selected papers will give a short, 10-min presentation, a (non-archival) pamphlet with 1-page extended abstracts for each selected paper will be distributed at the session, and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.   Authors will be notified by Jan. 16, 2012.  Please direct questions to the editor,   Kevin Skadron, skadron@cs.virginia.edu.
