HC15 -- Welcome

We have another exciting conference planned for this year, the 15th annual Hot Chips Symposium. The program committee is in the process of putting together another exciting 3 days of presentations on High Performance Chips. If you or your company would like to become a sponsor this year with Hot Chips, please see what we have to offer. As always, Hot Chips is made possible almost entirely through volunteer efforts. If you need to contact any one of these individuals, please go to the committee page to send them a message.

If you are new to Hot Chips, this yearly conference is very well attended by industry leaders and their colleagues. The atmosphere provides for a wealth of networking opportunity with individuals who are making a difference in the high performance chips arena.

Welcome back veterans! Please check back periodically as we will be updating our website the closer we get to conference time. Feel free to peruse the archives at your leisure.

HOT Chips brings together designers and architects of high-performance chips, software, and systems. Presentations focus on up-to-the-minute real developments. This symposium is the primary forum for engineers and researchers to highlight their leading-edge designs. Three full days of tutorials and technical sessions will keep you on top of the industry.

The Hot Chips team looks forward to presenting you with a well executed program for 2003's HOT Chips 15.
