The 7th annual Undergraduate Architecture Mentoring (uArch) Workshop took place alongside the International Symposium of Computer Architecture (ISCA) 2025, in the vibrant city of Tokyo, Japan! Similar to previous years, uArch was conducted in a hybrid format, combining in-person and virtual elements.The workshop introduces undergraduate and early master’s students to research and career paths in […]| SIGARCH
I am a COMPUTER ARCHITECT, which means I design computers. I was trained at a great school (UW-Madison), and I worked in industry (Intel) before I became a professor (University of Michigan). Despi…| SIGARCH

While the peer review process is the bedrock of modern science, it is notoriously slow, subjective, and inefficient. This blog post explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to re-imagine the review architecture, augmenting human expertise to build a system that is faster, more consistent, and ultimately more insightful. A New Architecture: The […]| SIGARCH
Editor’s note: With continuing proliferation of LLMs and their capabilities, academic community started to discuss their potential role in paper reviewing process. Some conferences are already piloting the assistance of LLMs in their reviewing this year. To bring this discussion to the attention of our community, “Computer Architecture Today” is publishing two related blog posts. […]| SIGARCH

It’s hard to believe, but the Computer Architecture Podcast is now five years old. We released our very first episode on May 28, 2020, and just like that, we find ourselves at our five-year anniversary, preparing to release our 20th episode. We’ve both been so grateful for the opportunity to do this, and for the […]| SIGARCH
