As a first-time ASPLOS presenter / author, I really enjoyed both the conference program and the people. The program was not only strong, but I felt it perfectly exemplified the diverse yet interconnected fields of architecture, programming languages, and operating systems. From automatic, on-demand stats calculation of Uncertain<t> to database processing units; from operating system support for heterogeneous coherence domains to neural network processors and GPU fairness mechanisms, the papers and presentations were top-notch.
As a presenter, I also enjoyed both the feedback during the Q&A session, and the interaction with other authors and attendees during the poster session. People were receptive to my work, and genuinely excited to discuss technical facets of both my work and other author's work.
Although the dual-track made attending every paper presentation impossible, the lightning sessions helped narrow down which presentations I wanted to attend and which posters I wanted to visit.
Finally, the outing to Utah's olympic oval was not only a fantastic idea, but perfectly executed. The skate rental was seamless, the curling lessons were really fun, and the food was incredible! A big thank you to Sarita, Al, Rajeev, and everyone else involved in planning, organizing, and executing this conference!
