The problem of reproducibility and replication in scientific research is quite prevalent to date. Researchers working in fields of computational science often find it difficult to reproduce experiments from artifacts like code, data, diagrams, and …
Performance variability has been acknowledged as a problem for over a decade by cloud practitioners and performance engineers. Yet, our survey of top systems conferences reveals that the research community regularly disregards variability when …
The storage industry is considering new kinds of storage de- vices that support data access function offloading, i.e. the ability to perform data access functions on the storage device itself as opposed to performing it on a separate compute system …
Computer network research experiments can be broadly grouped in three categories: simulated, controlled, and real-world experiments. Simulation frameworks, experiment testbeds and measurement tools, respectively, are commonly used as the platforms …
Advances in agile software delivery methodologies and tools (commonly referred to as DevOps) have not yet materialized in academic scenarios such as university, industry and government laboratories. In this position paper we make the case for Black …
The performance of compute hardware varies: software run repeatedly on the same server (or a different server with supposedly identical parts) can produce performance results that differ with each execution. This variation has important effects on …
