Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of a SIGMOD paper, covering workload realism and standard benchmark usage, baseline tuning fairness, scalability and tail-latency methodology, ablations that isolate the mechanism, and the setup disclosure a data-systems PC demands before trusting any speedup.

# SIGMOD Experiments

The evaluation section decides most SIGMOD verdicts. A data-systems PC does
not ask whether your system is fast; it asks whether the experiments would
convince the person who built the baseline you beat. Design the evaluation
to survive that specific reader.

## The setup table comes first

Before any result, the paper owes a complete experimental contract: hardware
(CPU, memory, storage class, network), software versions, datasets with
scale, workloads with skew and mix parameters, baseline versions and tuning
provenance, repetition counts, and warm-up policy. At SIGMOD this is not
appendix material — reviewers skim to it before reading the design.
