International Symposium on Microarchitecture
The IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture® (MICRO) is an annual academic conference on microarchitecture, generally viewed as the top-tier academic conference on computer architecture. It is not to be confused with a micro-conference. Particularly within the domains of microarchitecture and Code generation (compiler), MICRO is unrivaled  and esteemed as the premier forum. Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Microarchitecture (ACM SIGMICRO) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society are technical sponsors.

MICRO Test of Time (ToT) Award
The ToT award will recognize an influential MICRO paper whose influence is still felt 18–22 years after its initial publication. Most of ToT awarded papers have received around 1000 citations (according to Google Scholar).
