The MICRO Test of Time (ToT) Award Committee is soliciting nominations
for the fifth MICRO ToT Award to be given at the International Symposium
on Microarchitecture in October 2019, to be held in Columbus, Ohio.
This award recognizes the most influential papers published in past
MICRO conferences that have had significant impact in the field.
The award will recognize an influential MICRO paper whose influence is
still felt 18-22 years after its initial publication. In other words,
the award will be given to at most one paper that was published at MICRO
conferences in any of the years N-22, N-21, N-20, N-19, or N-18. This
year, N = 2019, so only papers published at MICRO conferences held in
1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, or 2001 are eligible. An eligible paper that has
received at least 100 citations (according to Google Scholar) is
automatically nominated, but explicit nominations of such papers are
still encouraged.
