Message from the Advisory Committee Chair

The goal of this conference is, as always, to be part of the premier conference series on microprocessor architecture and technology. This rapidly growing field regularly and aggressively produces innovative ideas and products that enable a transformation of the world around us day by day. Starting as an IEICE conference in 1998, today the COOL Chips conference series has become an internationally well-known conference series sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society in cooperation with IEICE Electron Device Society and IPSJ. COOL Chips is a sister conference to the HOT Chips held at Stanford University and HOT Interconnect conference held in California each August. We also invite you to attend these conference series. The relation between the COOL and HOT chips conferences is important as it spans geography and seasons.
