Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of an ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference, formerly USENIX ATC) systems paper — matching evidence to the claim with real testbeds, fair baselines, end-to-end plus microbenchmark results, tail-latency and variance reporting, workload realism, and honest cost accounting.

# ATC Experiments

Match the evidence to the claim. ATC is the systems community's **implementation-and-measurement**
venue: reviewers read for measured behavior on a real system, not asymptotics or accuracy on a
dataset. In round two, 3-4 reviewers close to your subarea will open the artifact and probe whether
the numbers are end-to-end, fair, and honest about cost. Design the evaluation so their first three
objections are already answered.

## Match evidence to claim shape

| If your claim is... | The evidence ATC expects |
|---|---|
| "Faster / lower latency" | End-to-end latency **including tails (p99/p999)** and throughput at a **matched** operating point, on a described testbed |
| "Lower overhead / cheaper" | The resource cost (CPU, memory, writes, energy) measured, at matched function — not just the headline win |
