ppopp-related-work

Use when writing or auditing a PPoPP paper's related-work and positioning, covering the parallel-programming literature lanes (concurrent data structures, runtimes/schedulers, GPU/accelerators, memory models, parallel algorithms), delta-first comparison against the nearest competitor, double-blind self-citation, and separating PPoPP work from CGO/PLDI/POPL/SC neighbors.

# PPoPP Related Work

Position the paper against the parallel-programming literature, not the whole of systems. A PPoPP
reviewer is an expert in your subarea and will know the two or three works you must beat. The job is
**delta-first**: state precisely what your structure/runtime/algorithm does that the nearest prior
parallel-programming work does not, in measurable terms.

## Cover the right lanes

Map your contribution onto the PPoPP literature lanes and cover the ones you touch:

- **Concurrent data structures** — lock-free/wait-free lists, maps, queues, skip lists; progress
  guarantees; memory reclamation (hazard pointers, epoch-based, RCU).
- **Runtimes and schedulers** — work-stealing, task graphs, futures, fork/join, load balancing,
