About MICRO 2026
MICRO 2026, the 59th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture, runs October 31 – November 4, 2026 in Athens, Greece with around 1,000 attendees. It is a peer-reviewed venue for computer architecture research spanning processors, accelerators and memory systems.
Who should attend
The audience is computer architects, accelerator and memory-system researchers, and engineers from silicon vendors.
Why it matters
A growing share of MICRO papers addresses memory hierarchies, CXL and near-storage acceleration, all of which bear directly on how future AI and HPC systems are built. The symposium is one of the earliest public indicators of architectural directions that reach products several years later.
