Second Workshop on Computer Architecture Research with RISC-V (CARRV 2018)

Los Angeles, CA, USA, June 2, 2018, Co-located with ISCA 2018

The Second Workshop on Computer Architecture Research with RISC-V (CARRV) brings together researchers in fields related to computer architecture, compilers, and systems for technical exchange on using RISC-V in computer architecture research. Submission of early work is encouraged. The topics of specific interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

The workshop is intended to be highly interactive with an open session discussing experiences with using the current state of the RISC-V ecosystem for architecture research and what directions to take to improve it.

Submission Guidelines

All papers should be submitted electronically by EasyChair. Submissions in PDF format must be limited to 6 pages including figures and tables, plus as many pages as needed for references. Papers must be in PDF format and should include title, authors and affiliation, e-mail address of the contact author.

Papers must be formatted in accordance to the ACM two column style. ACM Word or LaTeX style templates are available here.

Note: Authors may submit to both CARRV and the 8th RISC-V Workshop, but please remember that CARRV has an explicit research focus.

Note: Workshop publications do not preclude publishing at future conference venues.
