This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the workshops held at the 37th International Symposium on Computer Architecture, ISCA 2010, in Saint-Malo, France, in June 2010. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from the lectures given at 5 of these workshops. The papers address topics ranging from novel memory architectures to emerging application design and performance analysis and encompassed the following workshops: A4MMC, applications for multi- and many-cores; AMAS-BT, 3rd workshop on architectural and micro-architectural support for binary translation; EAMA, the 3rd Workshop for emerging applications and many-core architectures; WEED, 2nd Workshop on energy efficient design, as well as WIOSCA, the annual workshop on the interaction between operating systems and computer architecture.
