Designs, structures, and audits experimental evaluations for cross-layer systems research papers targeting ASPLOS.

ASPLOS Experiments helps computer systems researchers design, validate, and audit empirical evaluations for top-tier academic venues like ASPLOS. It enforces rigorous methodology across architecture, OS, and programming languages by aligning scientific claims with appropriate measurement instruments—such as real silicon, FPGA prototypes, cycle-level simulators (e.g., gem5), and analytical models (e.g., McPAT). The skill provides structured claim-instrument matrices, workload suite standards, baseline tuning guidelines, per-layer ablation frameworks, and noise-control protocols to ensure experimental results survive cross-community peer review.

Key Features

01Audits measurement noise controls, energy/area claims, and sweep saturation knees
02Guides simulator hygiene, cycle-accuracy caveats, and real-silicon validation reporting
031,069 GitHub stars
04Builds claim-instrument matrices to ensure experimental instruments match theoretical claims
05Structures multi-community baseline selections and fair comparison protocols
06Enforces isolated per-layer ablation studies across hardware and software boundaries

Use Cases

01Preparing rebuttal evidence and experimental ablation plans for peer review defense
02Auditing experimental rigor and claim-instrument alignment prior to ASPLOS submission
03Designing the evaluation section methodology for systems and architecture research papers
