• The paper Trevor E. Carlson, Kim-Anh Tran, Alexandra Jimborean, Konstantinos Koukos, Magnus Själander and Stefanos Kaxiras. "Transcending Hardware Limits with Software Out-of-order Processing." IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (2017) was selected as one of three Best of CAL in 2017 by the Editorial Board of IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (CAL).
  • Authors of Best of CAL papers get to present their work (and any follow-up results if they wish) at the IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA). This year, the Best of CAL session will take place on the second day of the conference, February 27, 2018.
  • This is a first for our department, to have a CAL paper awarded a presentation in the one of the top-two forums in Computer Architecture.

• Parosh Abdulla and Bengt Jonsson have, together with two French research colleagues, received the prestigious "CAV award" in 2017. The award is in recognition of their research on verification of correctness for parallel programs and computer systems.
