ACM SIGARCH/IEEE-CS TCCA Influential ISCA Paper Award
The ACM SIGARCH and IEEE-CS TCCA ISCA Influential Paper Award will be presented annually at the International Symposium on Computer Architecture. This award recognizes the paper from the ISCA Proceedings 20 years earlier that has had the most impact on the field (in terms of research, development, products or ideas) during the intervening years. The award includes an honorarium of $1,000 for the author(s) and a certificate.The candidate papers will be selected from ISCA 20 years ago (with a window of +/- 2 years). Eligible papers can be nominated by the current year’s ISCA Program Committee or members of the architecture community. For questions please contact the Award Committee chair, Prof. Fred Chong at chong@cs.uchicago.edu
