LOCA SERIES: Addressing Challenges in Core Microarchitecture Research 

Speaker: Daniel A. Jiménez. Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University.
Core microarchitecture research is the study of how to implement an Instruction Set Architecture for a general-purpose processor. The field has been studied for decades, but remains crucial due to the evolving demands of modern computing workloads. Growing instruction footprints, the influx of massive data into the processor, the overhead of modern programming languages, and the emphasis on productivity over performance all require innovative approaches. As Moore's Law reaches its end, the onus of improving performance and efficiency falls on microarchitecture research. Additionally, with more and more companies opting to design their own processors, academia is tasked not only with developing new processing technologies but also training the workforce to design these new chips.
