Use when auditing an HPCA evaluation: declaring the fidelity contract (simulator, configuration, workloads, sampled regions, validation), matching each claim to its instrument, capturing real-silicon machine state, tuning baselines honestly, and reporting per-workload distributions rather than a single mean.

# HPCA Experiments

Use this to stress-test an HPCA evaluation before the July gate. Architecture
reviews are won and lost on methodology: a mechanism can be sound and still be
rejected if the numbers cannot be trusted against their instrument.

## Declare the fidelity contract

Every HPCA evaluation rests on a contract the paper must state explicitly:

- **Tool and version.** Which simulator (and commit), or which real machine.
- **Fidelity scope.** What the model captures and what it abstracts — an in-order
  functional model and a cycle-level OoO model make different claims believable.
- **Configuration.** Core width, cache hierarchy, memory/DRAM timing model,
