Books Compiler Reading Club

Description

The ARCANA group organizes a weekly reading club where we discuss research papers.
Who: the compiler reading club is open to everyone
Where: the reading club is done in person and in the ARCANA lab (3304/3308)
When: every Tuesday from 1pm to 2:30pm CST
What: we discuss
  • Compiler research papers
  • System research papers that do (or could) have a strong influence to compiler research

Protocol to choose the paper to review for a given week

You can propose a paper to review only the week before.
Deadline = Thursday 5pm (it's in the ARCANA calendar)
To propose a paper: send the link of the pdf of the paper to the #reading_club channel of the ARCANA slack group
You can vote to all papers you would like to review the week paper.
Deadline = Friday 5pm (it's in the ARCANA calendar)
To vote a paper: click Thumb up on the slack message with the pdf link.
Friday at 5pm the paper with the highest votes will be read/discussed the week after.
