Moin Qureshi at Georgia Tech made a list of researchers who collectively wrote 32 or more papers at ASPLOS, HPCA, ISCA, and MICRO (so called the four top-tier conferences in the field of computer architecture) in 2019. Like all the ranked lists, there are (tons of) controversies, which is out of scope of this post. However, multiple sources have cited this “Computer Architecture Aggregated Hall-of-Fame” list: [link 1], [link 2], and [link 3].

The list has not been updated since 2019, whereas the number of total MICRO/ISCA/ASPLOS/HPCA papers that have been published per year have increased steadily, surpassing 400 in 2024. That means there have been more hall of fame inductees since 2020. Even if there might have been efforts to make the list up to date, I have not witnessed an active effort as of now (Dec 2024).

I made one exploiting the dblp SPARQL query service. It is far from being 100% accurate, but stable enough to share it with others. Thanks to dblp, this list will be automatically updated as more papers are published in the future. Please enjoy and remember that “A real Hall of Fame should be determined by impact, not paper count.”

Following eight researchers were inducted this year (2024): Tor M. Aamodt, Jung Ho Ahn, Christopher W. Fletcher, Daniel A. Jiménez, Hyesoon Kim, Minsoo Rhu, G. Edward Suh, and Gu-Yeon Wei.
