Supporting Experiments in Computer Systems Research

Systems research is an experimental science. Most research in computer systems follows the trend of innovate (e.g. build a novel garbage collector) and then evaluate (e.g. does it significantly speed up our programs). Researchers use experiments to drive their work; they use experiments to identify bottlenecks and then again to determine if their innovations for addressing those bottlenecks are...
