IEEE Micro Selects UR Computer Architecture Paper as One of the Year's Most Significant Contributions

A paper published by Prof. Engin Ipek and his student Mahdi N. Bojnordi has been selected by IEEE Micro as one of this year's 11 most significant research  papers in computer architecture based on novelty and long term impact. Each year, the Top Picks awards recognize those significant and insightful papers that have the potential to influence the work of computer architects for years to come. Ipek and Bojnordi's paper, "PARDIS: A Programmable Memory Controller for the DDRx Interfacing Standards," aims at improving memory system performance using a new class of programmable and versatile memory controllers, and was originally published at the 39th International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA-39).
