Hi all, As you all likely already know, ISCA is going to be taking place virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See https://iscaconf.org/isca2020/ for more information. On the plus side, we believe this will make the gem5 workshop more inclusive! Rather than limiting attendees to those that can travel to Valencia, anyone will be able to participate! We are making the following changes to the original call for abstracts (original call below): 1) The deadline for submitting an abstract is now May 1st. You can still use the following link to submit an abstract: https://forms.gle/UnpFXRvpLEFKJBb46 2) For accepted abstracts, you will be asked to produce a short video and a blog post for the gem5 blog. In the week leading up to the workshop, we will advertise all of the accepted works. 3) We will hold a synchronous virtual Q&A session (or sessions) during the week of June 1st (the original time when ISCA was scheduled). During these session(s), we will ask the authors of the accepted works to attend to encourage discussion with the broader gem5 community. Specific times for these will be announced soon. We will work with the community to choose a time or times that are inclusive to those in different time zones. Update on the gem5 Tutorial: Similarly for the gem5 tutorial, we will post videos before the week of June 1st and hold session(s) for Q&A the week of June 1st. Thanks for being flexible! We look forward to your submissions!

One last reminder... The deadline for abstracts for the gem5 workshop is on Friday. We're going to have both asynchronous contributions (e.g., videos and blog posts) and some synchronous time on something like zoom for authors and the community to interact. We'll have at least two synchronous times to be inclusive of all time zones. gem5-20 is the first release since the original gem5 release almost 10 years ago! We'd love to have workshop contributions about anything you've done to improve gem5 during that time or examples on how you've been using gem5. See http://www.gem5.org/events/isca-2020 for details. You can submit your abstracts via this google form: https://forms.gle/UnpFXRvpLEFKJBb46 Looking forward to reading your abstracts!
