The CALCM reading group meets weekly to discuss papers from recent Computer Architecture conferences. Interested students should sign up for specific papers that they would be interested in leading.

Role of group leaders:

• Introducing the paper (the problem/motivation, basic ideas of the solution, and a very brief overview of results, strengths, weaknesses)
• Raising questions related to the paper and the problem at hand
• Identifying some more blue-sky brainstorming topics related to the problem at hand

The leader's job is not to lecture about the paper for an hour, but simply to introduce the paper (in 5-10 minutes) and then lead the discussion, if needed.

If you did not get a chance to attend the first organizational meeting, you can view the slides here (PPT, PDF)

Every Wednesday in HH-1205, 5-6pm
If you have general questions/concerns, please contact the reading group organizers: Michael Papamichael (papamix AT cs.cmu.edu), Eric Chung (echung@ece.cmu.edu).
If you are having trouble with login/editing the wiki, please contact Michael Papamichael (papamix AT cs.cmu.edu).

• If you wish to present a paper you need to edit this wiki page and:

1. Add the paper in the schedule further below
2. Remove the paper from the list of papers.

• To add presentation slides edit the wiki and click on the “Add Images and other files” button (it looks like a picture frame). Make sure the uploaded ppt file name matches the place-holder name in the schedule.
• To add/edit discussion notes just click on the “Notes” link in the schedule and edit the corresponding wiki page.
