The 59th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture® (MICRO 2026) invites submissions from undergraduate and graduate students to participate in the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC). Sponsored by ACM, the SRC at MICRO provides a unique forum for students to present their original research to an audience of experts in the field of computer architecture.
The top 3 undergraduate and top 3 graduate winners will receive monetary prizes, certificates, and medals. First-place winners in each category (undergraduate and graduate) will advance to the ACM Grand Finals, where they compete against winners from other top ACM conferences.
First authors (i.e., students) must be ACM members, and if their abstract is selected, must register for and attend MICRO 2026 in person (in Athens, Greece). See https://www.microarch.org/micro59/submit/src.php for full eligibility details.
If you have any questions, please email the MICRO 2026 Student Research Competition co-chairs (Christina Giannoula or Saugata Ghose). Good luck, and we look forward to your submissions!
