Submissions due: March 13, 2025 Publication: Sept/Oct 2025
Topics of Interest
Paper topics are not limited to hardware tapeouts. Papers that are software-centric papers relevant to the computer architecture audience are welcome in this track (e.g. datacenter software work, compiler work, accelerator software stack work), but they should adhere to the tenet that they must be industry papers about production-level work – whether retrospective, planned and on the roadmap, or planned but canceled.
Processors, SoCs, GPUs, and domain-specific accelerators
Systems and interconnect technologies for HPC, cloud, or data centers
Embedded, mobile, and IoT processors
FPGA or reconfigurable architectures
Storage and emerging memory systems
Architectures using emerging technology.
Architectures for emerging applications including generative AI and bioinformatics.
Architectures for commercialization of quantum computing
Submission Guidelines
The papers ideally include (1) retrospective evaluations of real working products, (2) upcoming industry products on their roadmaps, and/or (3) planned products that were canceled but present interesting insights or lessons learned.
The following submissions will not be considered: (1) short-term internship projects in industries, or (2) speculation about hardware that might be built.
The first and most of the authors of such papers must work in industry.
The submissions are required to disclose the affiliations of all authors. Reviewers want to know which product is being evaluated and which company is writing the paper. The review process will follow common practice to avoid conflicts of interest.
All submissions to the industry track must follow general submission guidelines (including font and page limits). Submissions that fail to abide by the guidelines will be rejected without review.
For author information and guidelines on submission criteria, please visit the Author Information page. Please submit papers through the ScholarOne system, and be sure to select the special-issue name. Manuscripts should not be published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Please submit only full papers intended for review, not abstracts, to the ScholarOne portal.
