Annotation The keynote speaker at the February 2002 conference discussed "the software industry: ten lessons for long life." Subsequent papers (27 in all) are arranged in sections on energy and thermal management, speculative multithreading, potpourri, memory-aware scheduling, latency tolerance and caches, speculation and prediction, multiprocessor systems, and pipelining and microarchitecture. A panel discussion addresses the question: "What will have the greatest impact in 2010: the processor, the memory, or the interconnect?" Indexing is by author only.
