- Yonsei University to Host MICRO 2025, the World’s Premier Conference on AI Semiconductors and Computer Architecture
- The IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture 2025 (MICRO 2025), the world’s most prestigious conference in the field of AI semiconductors and computer architecture, will be held from October 18 to 22, 2025, at Lotte Hotel Seoul in Myeongdong, Korea. Yonsei University has successfully secured the bid to host MICRO 2025 in Korea, aiming to further elevate the international standing of Korean research in semiconductors and AI computing. First held in 1968, MICRO is widely recognized as the premier international conference in computer architecture. Over the past five decades, it has grown into a globally renowned academic event covering cutting-edge topics such as processors, memory systems, AI accelerators, and quantum computing. Every year, top researchers and industry leaders from around the world gather at MICRO to share and discuss the latest advances in the field. MICRO 2025 will feature approximately 120 high-quality papers selected through a rigorous peer-review process. More than 1,000 researchers and professionals from both academia and industry are expected to attend. Topics to be covered include AI hardware, GPUs, processing-in-memory (PIM), quantum computing, low-power and secure architectures, and more. The conference will begin with workshops and tutorials on October 18–19, addressing collaborative topics such as AI Hardware and Systems, RISC-V Architecture, and Quantum Computing Systems. The main conference will take place from October 20–22, featuring keynote speeches, invited panel discussions, paper presentations, poster sessions, and a student research competition. Keynote and panel sessions will include participation from leading global companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Samsung Electronics, and SK hynix, as well as renowned academic institutions including the University of Washington, ETH Zurich, National University of Singapore (NUS), University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and Georgia Tech. These sessions will provide valuable insights into the latest trends in large-scale AI systems and next-generation memory technologies. MICRO 2025 is co-chaired by Professors Won Woo Roh and Hanjoon Kim of Yonsei University’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The Program Chairs are Professor Minsoo Yu of KAIST and Professor Radu Teodorescu of The Ohio State University. The event is supported by a range of leading domestic and international companies, including Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, MangoBoost, XCENA, Huawei, Mobilint, HyperAccel, Panmnesia, Ant Research, FriendliAI, Intel, ARM, FuriosaAI, AMD, Qualcomm, IBM, and Google. Professors Roh and Kim stated, “MICRO is one of the most influential international conferences in the design of CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators. Hosting MICRO 2025 is a major opportunity to showcase the excellence of Korea’s semiconductor and systems research to the world. We hope this event will serve as a platform for global collaboration and become a milestone in the advancement of AI and next-generation computing technologies in Korea.” Yonsei University is rapidly establishing itself as a global hub for next-generation AI and semiconductor research, recently launching the AI Semiconductor Innovation Research Institute and installing IBM’s Quantum System One. Through hosting MICRO 2025, the university plans to further strengthen its international research network and solidify its leadership in the fields of AI and computer architecture.
