Best Computer Systems Engineering Conferences

This group covers computer architecture, embedded and real-time systems, and reconfigurable hardware. ISCA, MICRO and ASPLOS form the A* core, with acceptance rates around 20% and an increasingly systems-software-flavoured programme.

HPCA, DAC, DATE, FPGA and FCCM cover the design-automation and hardware end. Many of these venues run mandatory artifact evaluation, and simulator availability is often a de facto review criterion.
