Researchers with eight or more papers at ISCA, MICRO, ASPLOS and HPCA, together with the complete list of IEEE Micro Top Picks.

Compiled by Oğuz Ergin·DBLP·oergin@etu.edu.tr·Counts verified against DBLP

Combined Hall of Fame. Researchers with 8+ papers at any venue (HPCA, MICRO, ISCA, or ASPLOS) are inducted into that venue's Hall of Fame. The Total column sums only these four venues. TP shows IEEE Micro Top Picks count (not included in Total). The h-index, citation and 100+ / 1000+ columns come from each researcher's Google Scholar profile. A refresh is under way (6–7 Oct 2026); profiles not re-read yet still show April 2026 figures. Researchers without a Scholar profile of their own show no figures. Click column headers to sort.

IEEE Micro Top Picks: Honorable Mentions. Each year ~12 papers receive Honorable Mention alongside the Top Picks selection. The HM category was introduced in 2014 for the first time (Top Picks issues from 2003–2013 did not include Honorable Mentions). The 2025 Honorable Mentions will be added when the Top Picks issue appears. · Data as of: 17 Apr 2026

Acceptance Rates. Submissions and acceptance rates for HPCA, MICRO, ISCA, and ASPLOS over the years. Sources: the program chairs' messages in the proceedings, SIGARCH trip reports, csconferences and OpenAccept. Submissions are the counts the program chairs report as received. Since 2023 ASPLOS reviews submissions in two or three cycles a year. A paper accepted after a major revision counts in the year it was submitted, even when it is presented at the next year's conference. ASPLOS 2024, for example, accepted 170 papers before its conference and 24 revisions after it.
