ppopp-writing-style

Use when drafting or tightening a PPoPP paper's prose and structure, covering the two-column acmart sigplan layout, the 10-page text+figures budget, stating the concurrency-correctness and scalability claim up front, presenting speedup curves and core sweeps, and the parallel-programming conventions PPoPP reviewers expect.

# PPoPP Writing Style

Write to the PPoPP bar: a parallel-programming contribution that is **correct under concurrency and
measurably scalable**, presented in **two-column `acmart` `sigplan`** within **10 pages** of text
and figures (references unlimited). The reader is a parallel-systems expert who will look for the
speedup curve, the baseline, and the correctness argument before they finish the introduction.

## The first-page contract

By the end of page 1 a PPoPP reviewer should know:

1. **The parallel-programming problem** — what breaks or stalls when you go parallel (contention, a
   sequential bottleneck, poor locality, divergence, a memory-model hazard).
2. **The contribution** — the structure, runtime, algorithm, or technique, in one sentence, framed
