In the computer architecture community, we have recently taken a number of initiatives to help mentor PhD students, however, we believe that there is a need for more mentoring opportunities and especially for focused mentoring opportunities. Major conferences are a great venue to facilitate all of these.

It’s one thing to identify bottlenecks and implement optimizations for a specific website or a few similar websites, and quite another when dealing with many millions of websites, having such a wide variety of functionality, and an almost total freedom of design.
