Here is a labor of love from me and my founding co-members. We have been working hard to make this community more open and approachable to all.
I hope CASA helps others as much as it already has helped me.
We are so excited to introduce CASA to the computer architecture community!
CASA is an independent student-run organization with the express purpose of developing and fostering a positive and inviting student community within comp arch.
Join us today at bit.ly/2FxUwLE!

one of the women went to a random friend’s party and received a report from a random CSE grad woman at the party that she had been sexually harassed by one of the same men from the systems lab. If that isn’t pervasive, I don’t know what to call it.

You know, I’m actually in the market for a bench for my office since my office hours get slammed. Anyone want to help a poor teacher get furniture?

Continuing to be unserious in everything I do.
Adrian recently handed the SIGARCH social media reins to us, Elba Garza and Jonathan Balkind. We want to first thank Adrian for his long and laugh-filled service, which brought many of us to this side of the architecture community. We hope to continue his unserious tone :)

“At some point, safety just is pure waste,” Mr. Rush said… [and suggested] that safety was used as an excuse by “industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation.”
Ah, idiots. Regulation is written in blood. This time his own.

For @ISCAConfOrg’s 50th anniversary, I present an announcement for ISCA-6, from the February 1979 issue of Computer Design Magazine. Many conferences have come and gone (International Conference on Magnetic Bubbles anyone?) but ISCA continues.
Peep also DAC!
We’ll be posting these memories and statistics over the next week or so, in the runup to the conference. Share your own memories, and tag them with #isca50!

The slow growth in accepted papers vs the steeper growth in submitted papers is concerning... low acceptance rates are especially demoralizing for junior members of our community.
From 1973 to 2023, submissions grew from ~70 to ~400 (6×), but accepted papers grew more slowly, from ~40 to ~70 (2×). That means the acceptance rate has trended from ~50% to ~20%. #isca50
I spent way too much money on a formerly 75-cent magazine, but it’s mine! It’s finally mine! 😍

And @LaLiga is trying to blame him for it all. Sure, sure.
A cada rodada fora de casa uma surpresa desagradável. E foram muitas nessa temporada. Desejos de morte, boneco enforcado, muitos gritos criminosos... Tudo registrado.
Mas o discurso sempre cai em “casos isolados”, “um torcedor”. Não, não são casos isolados. São episódios contínuos espalhados por várias cidades da Espanha (e até em um programa de televisão).
As provas estão aí no vídeo. Agora pergunto: quantos desses racistas tiveram nomes e fotos expostos em sites? Eu respondo pra facilitar: zero. Nenhum pra contar uma história triste ou pedir aquelas falsas desculpas públicas.
O que falta para criminalizarem essas pessoas? E punirem esportivamente os clubes? Por que os patrocinadores não cobram a La Liga? As televisões não se incomodam de transmitir essa barbárie a cada fim de semana?
O problema é gravíssimo e comunicados não funcionam mais. Me culpar para justificar atos criminosos também não.
No es fútbol, es inhumano.
