vldb-reproducibility
Use when engineering reproducibility into a VLDB paper before submission, covering hardware and configuration disclosure, dataset and workload provenance, run-to-run variance in systems measurements, competitor-version pinning, figure-to-raw-data traceability, and the disclosure floor PVLDB reviewers apply to performance claims.

# VLDB Reproducibility
Use this while experiments are still running — reproducibility at a systems
venue is an experimental-design property, not a packaging step. The question a
PVLDB reviewer silently asks of every performance figure: *could a competent
lab, given this paper alone, land within noise of these curves?*
## The disclosure floor
Every performance claim needs its context recoverable from the paper (or its
cited artifact):
- **Hardware**: CPU model and count, memory, storage class and interface,
network fabric, node count. "A commodity server" reproduces nothing.
