Learning & Documentation

Guides the design, configuration, and auditing of rigorous computer architecture evaluation sections for top-tier ISCA research papers.

ISCA Experiments provides systematic guidance for drafting and auditing the evaluation sections of computer architecture papers targeted at top venues like ISCA. It helps researchers establish clear simulator fidelity contracts, document exact gem5 and hardware configurations, justify workload selections, rigorously tune competitive baselines, conduct attribution and sensitivity analyses, and generate reproducibility manifests to withstand rigorous peer review.

Key Features

01Simulator fidelity scoping and methodology contract generation
02Baseline tuning and fair adversarial comparison frameworks
03Config manifest templates for fully reproducible architectural evaluations
04Representative workload suite selection and per-workload reporting guidelines
05Attribution, ablation, and sensitivity sweep structuring
061,079 GitHub stars

Use Cases

01Structuring gem5 simulation parameters and warmup sampling strategies for architectural claims
02Auditing the experimental evaluation section of an ISCA manuscript before submission
03Writing transparent ablation studies and baseline equalization sections for academic peer review
