Prof. John Kim was recently inducted into the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO) conference Hall-of-Fame and this is the first time that a researcher from Korean academia is inducted.
MICRO, along with ISCA and HPCA, is considered to be the most prestigious conference in architecture, with MICRO having one of the longest histories as this year’s MICRO was the 51st edition of the conference.
This accomplishment results from that Prof. John Kim is the best researcher in Korea in the field of Interconnection Networks and Parallel Architectures and he published 8 or more papers at the conference.
Prof. Kim was also inducted into ISCA hall-of-fame last year and he is the only researcher from Asia to be elected to the hall-of-fame for both ISCA and MICRO and this fact shows that the excellence of his research is acknowledged in the whole world.
