pldi-reproducibility
Use when hardening a PLDI paper's measurements against the SIGPLAN Empirical Evaluation Guidelines — warmup and steady-state discipline, variance and confidence reporting, principled benchmark choice, pinned toolchains, cross-platform validity, and a measurement log that survives artifact evaluation.

# PLDI Reproducibility
PLDI's methodological yardstick is written down: the SIGPLAN Empirical Evaluation
Guidelines and their one-page checklist (Blackburn, Hauswirth, Berger, Hicks,
Krishnamurthi, 2018; sigplan.org/Resources/EmpiricalEvaluation/, read 2026-07-08).
Reviewers and artifact evaluators both reach for it. This skill turns the
checklist into compiler-bench practice; `pldi-experiments` covers what to measure,
this covers whether anyone can trust and repeat the measurement.
## Checklist, translated to PL systems
| Guideline item | What it means for a compiler/runtime paper |
|---|---|
| Clearly stated claims | "1.17x geomean on suite S vs baseline B at -O2" — never "significant speedups" |
