Each year, the IEEE Micro “Top Picks” special issue selection committee chooses the most significant papers published in the top computer architecture conferences based on their novelty and potential for long-term impact. For 2018, the committee selected a total of 12 papers, of which two were from researchers in the ADEPT Lab: Martin Maas, Krste Asanović, and John Kubiatowicz, “A Hardware Accelerator for Tracing Garbage Collection”, International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA-2018), Los Angeles, CA, June 2018. Sagar Karandikar, Howard Mao, Donggyu Kim, David Biancolin, Alon Amid, Dayeol Lee, Nathan Pemberton, Emmanuel Amaro, Colin Schmidt, Aditya Chopra, Qijing Huang, Kyle Kovacs, Borivoje Nikolić, Randy Katz, Jonathan Bachrach, and Krste Asanović, “FireSim: FPGA-Accelerated Cycle-Exact Scale-Out System Simulation in the Public Cloud”, International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA-2018), Los Angeles, CA, June 2018.
