Workshop on Computer Architecture Education

Theme

WCAE provides the premier forum for educators in computer architecture to discuss and share their experiences and teaching philosophy. Past WCAEs have been held in conjunction with HPCA, ISCA, and Micro. This is the first time a WCAE has been held at HPCA since 1999.

Over 200 papers on computer architecture education have been presented at the workshop since its inception in 1995. The goal is for participants to come away from the workshop with new ideas on delivering courses in computer architecture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.

Topics of interest

For an idea of what we have published in the past, see the WCAE archive, made possible with funding from the SIGCSE Special Projects fund.. Many of these papers are also in the ACM Digital Library.
