Technical scope

Evolutions in general-purpose computer architecture

  • Core microarchitecture including prediction, prefetching, ILP and MLP.
  • Memory systems architecture including coherency, PIM and disaggregated memory.
  • Rack-scale and large-scale computing systems.
  • General-purpose accelerators including GPUs and CGRAs.

Software, runtime, compiler and codesign tools

  • Hardware/software co-design.
  • Compile-time and dynamic analysis.
  • Performance modelling and simulation.
  • Verification, model-checking and test generation.

Systems for AI

  • AI/ML accelerators, CPU and GPU extensions, and system-level support.
  • AI/ML systems at scale including interconnects.

AI for Systems

  • Using AI/ML for computer architecture development, prototyping, compilation, optimisation and verification.

Novel computing technologies

  • Non-von Neumann architectures, optical computing, quantum computing and neuromorphic computing

We are broadly interested in general improvements to architecture and systems in any of the above areas, whether in performance, security, integrity, energy-efficiency, fault tolerance and reliability, quality of service, or other areas.

Event registration will be unavailable from 6pm on Thursday, 24 September 2026 until 9am on Friday, 25 September 2026.

We’re making upgrades to our event registration system.

On Thursday, 24 September 2026 from 6pm, our registration system will be temporarily unavailable while we upgrade our systems. For any urgent enquiries during this time, please email events@theiet.org and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your patience.
