The talk will be on microarchitecture research and why it plays an important role in our day-to-day computing world, keeping application developers, compiler writers, and OS designers in mind. A major part of the talk will be about microarchitects(my mentees) and their untold stories on some of the microarchitecture techniques that improve system performance (ISCA 2020, MICRO 2022), energy (MICRO 2022), scalability (MICRO 2023), and security (ISCA 2024, MICRO 2024).
