Hi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year ASPLOS is just $15 for students and we are hoping many more people will have a chance to experience ASPLOS for the first time — it has been designed to be as easy as possible to hop in, get what you need, meet some amazing people, all without consuming your whole day. We have spread content across 2 full weeks Mon-Fri with shorter blocks of “together” time 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm (Pacific Time) but you can also participate asynchronously to watch some of the videos and chat with authors. There is a lot of stuff for people interested in OS, PL, and Architecture to see, but please get in there before it is gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
$15 per student buys you all of the tutorials, all of the workshops, all of the ASPLOS technical program, keynotes, live interviews, an industry panel, a virtual excursion, plus even partner conference VEE.\u00a0 Full price is just $40. You can register today on our Registration Page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the stuff going on this year includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no better way to bootstrap your understanding of an area than being taught directly by some of the world’s foremost experts. These ASPLOS tutorials<\/a> (sorted by the date they will run) cover so many different important aspects of system design today: <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the main technical program, workshops are a great way to hear what people are working on, connect with a community around a specific problem, and learn from research leaders in a more intimate format. These ASPLOS workshops<\/a> (sorted by the date they will run) will provide all of that and more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Golden Age of Compiler Design in an Era of HW\/SW Co-design<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris Lattner cofounded the LLVM Compiler infrastructure project, the Clang compiler, the Swift programming language, the MLIR compiler infrastructure, the CIRCT project, and has contributed to many other commercial and open source projects at Apple and Google. He now leads the Engineering and Product teams at SiFive, which is a leading vendor of RISC-V processors and other IP.

Since March 2020, she was named Commissioner for the President of the Valencian Region on AI Strategy and Data Science to fight COVID-19. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hosted by: Russ Joseph<\/p>\n\n\n\n Timothy M. Pinkston is holder of the George Pfleger Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering, former holder of the Louise L. Dunn Endowed Professorship in Engineering, and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC). He also is the Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.\u00a0 With over a hundred peer-reviewed technical publications, he has made key research contributions to deadlock-free adaptive routing, router microarchitecture and interconnection networks (both distributed and on-chip networks) that achieve high-performance and energy-efficient data movement in multicore and multiprocessor computer systems–from embedded processors to compute servers to large-scale datacenters. Dr. Pinkston is a AAAS Fellow, ACM Fellow, and IEEE Fellow and has received numerous prominent national awards, including the NSF Minority Research Initiation Award and NSF CAREER Award, and is the proud recipient of a Distinguished Alumnus Award for Academic Excellence from The Ohio State University’s College of Engineering. Read More<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hosted by: Steve Blackburn<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kathryn S. McKinley, Principle Research Scientist at Google, will give a brief introduction and then take audience questions, moderated by ANU Professor Steve Blackburn, her collaborator for over 20 years.\u00a0 She welcomes technical questions on the future and past of cloud, parallel computing, benchmarking, performance analysis, garbage collection, and how to build an inclusive welcoming community.\u00a0 Kathryn S McKinley is a Principal Research Scientist at Google and CRA Board member. She was previously a Principal Researcher at Microsoft and held an Endowed Professorship at The University of Texas at Austin.\u00a0 She and her collaborators have produced several widely used technologies: the DaCapo Java Benchmarks (30,000+ downloads), the Hoard memory manager, the MMTk memory management toolkit, Jikes RVM, and the Immix garbage collector. She is an IEEE Fellow and ACM Fellow and her awards include the ACM SIGPLAN Programming Languages Software Award; ACM SIGPLAN Distinguished Service Award; and numerous test-of-time paper and best paper awards.\u00a0 She has served as program chair for ASPLOS, PACT, PLDI, ISMM, and CGO, is a former Darpa ISAT and CRA-WP co-chair and Board member, and is a founding co-chair of SIGPLAN CARES and SIGARCH\/SIGMICRO CARES. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hosted by: Ricardo Bianchini<\/p>\n\n\n\n Industrial research is often a bit of a mystery to academics, so many questions come up. For example, how closely do industrial researchers work with product groups? How does this interaction happen and what are its typical outcomes? How much research are product groups themselves doing today? How can academics collaborate with industrial researchers? This panel will discuss the state of industrial research in 2021 and address these and other questions from the audience. Ultimately, we will attempt to provide a clear picture of the different flavors of industrial research, the various interactions with product groups, and provide examples of collaborations between industrial and academic researchers.
