maybe if IEEE wanted to keep students, they could support them, unlike during the 2019 ISCA peer review fraud incident where an IEEE fellow was caught in peer review fraud that lea…

you should notice that the professor involved is listed as being on the Program Committee for IEEE S&P 2022 already, meaning he must be well-connected with various higher ups at th…

if they release a statement as fast as they did for the ISCA'19 peer review fraud case you might be waiting a while (took more or less 2 years)

for more details than you possibly want go here: https://pbzcnepu.net/isca/timeline.html though it is more about the ACM/IEEE side of things rather than what was going on in Florid…

also, at ISCA'19, over half the papers were PC papers, meaning they were papers where one of the authors was on the committee that picked which papers get in. It's probably why the…

ISCA is a particularly horrible "top" conference. We've been trying to reproduce some papers with questionable methodology from ISCA'20 (including using "1 cycle access L1 cache" i…

the IEEE probably won't do anything. We've been trying for 2 years to even get an e-mail reply from them on the issue, let alone say anything useful. See the whole story here: http…

For a full rundown of the history of this incident see: https://pbzcnepu.net/isca/timeline.html

it's anecdotal. another anecdote, when first trying to raise awareness of the issue, when mentioning it to members of the community I never got the response "wow, how could this ha…

> If you don't want cycle-accurate simulator based papers, you'd have to eliminate a large variety of body of work only possible with this approach. yes. Most "cycle-accurate" resu…

it isn't always that the work is bad, it's just the review process for getting in has always seemed to be easier for people with the right connections. Not necessarily in an overt …

well let's take Torrellas. Check out the two papers at ISCA'20 with him as an author. Both use modified "cycle-accurate" simulators for the results. For now let's ignore all the is…

there's really not much one can do. In Comp Arch, most of the honest people left the field years ago because they got sick of all this nonsense. Most were happy to let those left b…

The program officers were contacted, leading to the OIG being notified on 6 December 2019 and supposedly an investigation was openened, but we have not heard anything back since th…

some of us made a big effort to get anyone at the IEEE or ACM to care about this ISCA'19 incident. The initial investigation by Torrellas was run mostly by ISCA insiders with confl…
