Message from the ISCA 2020 Program Chair

The 47th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA), the flagship conference in our community received a record number of 428 submissions (17% higher than ISCA 2019), out of which the program committee selected 77 papers for inclusion in the program – an acceptance rate of 18%. Seven papers were withdrawn at various stages during the review process. In addition to the 77 papers, the program also features three keynotes and an industry track. The keynotes are delivered by Prof. Margaret Martonosi (NSF CISE and Princeton University), Prof. Valeria Bertacco (University of Michigan) and Prof. Li-Shiuan Peh (National University of Singapore). The industry track is a new initiative as of this year and was led by Prof. David Patterson (Google and UC Berkeley). The industry track papers were selected through a separate review process which David Patterson describes in his foreword.
