• JavaScript: The Good Parts, by Douglas Crockford JavaScript went from non-existence to global adoption in an alarmingly short period of time. The best nature of JavaScript was so effectively hidden that for many years the prevailing opinion of JavaScript was that it was an unsightly, incompetent abomination. This session will expose the goodness in JavaScript, an outstanding dynamic programming language.

• Amdahl's Law in the Multicore Era, by Mark D. Hill. To help understand future high-level trade-offs, we develop a corollary to Amdahl's Law for multicore chips [Hill & Marty, IEEE Computer 2008]. Our results encourage multicore designers to view performance of the entire chip rather than focus on core efficiencies. This talk is based on an HPCA 2008 keynote address.
