Use when reasoning about how an ISCA submission is evaluated — the two-round review structure with December and February reviewer waves, what the combined rebuttal-and-revision window means for decisions, PC-meeting dynamics at a flagship architecture venue, and how to read the eventual outcome.

# ISCA Review Process

Knowing the pipeline changes author behavior at three points: how the paper is
written (for two waves of readers), how the February window is used (it permits
revision, not just argument), and how the decision is interpreted. The stage
structure below is the verified ISCA 2026 calendar; internal committee mechanics
are described as community-typical practice, labeled as such, because programs
rarely publish them.

| Stage | 2026 dates | Author-visible? |
