micro-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a project belongs at MICRO (IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture) or should route to ISCA, HPCA, ASPLOS, DAC/ICCAD, SC, or MLSys — testing whether the mechanism truly lives inside the machine, gauging the MICRO evidence bar, and weighing the main track against the new Industry Track.

When to use

• Deciding venue for microarchitecture projects
• Testing mechanism residency
• Gauging MICRO evidence bar
• Weighing main track against Industry Track
• Routing to ISCA, HPCA, ASPLOS, DAC/ICCAD, SC, or MLSys
• Adjudicating borderline cases like microarchitectural security
• Evaluating simulation methodology and modeling tools
• Assessing compiler-assisted hardware

When not to use

• Writing evaluation sections
• Pure software optimizations
• ISA proposals with no implementation sketch
• Characterization with no mechanism
• Circuits work with no architectural consequence
• Vulnerability disclosure or software mitigation
