The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:
High-Performance Computer Architecture aims to foster the development of research in Memory management, Parallel computing, Cache, Speedup and Throughput (business).
High-Performance Computer Architecture facilitates discussions on Memory management that incorporate concepts from other fields like Dram, Memory architecture, Overhead (computing), Artificial neural network and Memory bandwidth.
The research on Parallel computing featured in it combines topics in other fields like Compiler and Data structure.
The discussions emphasized the topic of Cache in an attempt to further explore the field of Computer network.
Topics in Speedup were tackled in line with various other fields like Sparse matrix-vector multiplication, Sparse matrix, Xeon and Microarchitecture.
Aside from discussions in Key (cryptography), it also deals with the subject of Embedded system which intersects with Software bug, Performance engineering and Page cache disciplines.
The most cited articles from the last conference are:
SpAtten: Efficient Sparse Attention Architecture with Cascade Token and Head Pruning (15 citations)
BlockHammer: Preventing RowHammer at Low Cost by Blacklisting Rapidly-Accessed DRAM Rows (8 citations)
SynCron: Efficient Synchronization Support for Near-Data-Processing Architectures (8 citations)
Papers citation over time
A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

Publication chance based on affiliation
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
Research.com
During the most recent 2021 edition, 1.45% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.53% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 30.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.59% of all publications and 25.00% were from other institutions.
Returning Authors Index
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
