Abstract :
The out-going Editor-in-Chief introduces Jose F. Mart??nez as the new Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (CAL). A brief professional biography is included. In addition, it is noted that CAL aims to provide fast-turnaround for early work with outstanding promise. The majority of decisions are returned within one month, nearly all within six weeks, and all decisions are rendered within two months. The overall acceptance rate has consistently run at about 25%. Many papers first published in CAL go on to become full papers in premier conferences and journals, and CAL´s impact factor continues to increase. CAL has been a valuable addition to the publishing landscape in computer architecture and under Prof. Martinez´s leadership, we can look forward to even greater impact in the future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the CAL Associate Editors, authors, readers, and reviewers for their great help and support.
