Artifact Description appendix: sc17-ae-20170220.zip
Instructions: This form enables authors to provide information about their computing environment using a common format. Details can be entered in this form, or pointers can be provided to online information. With a few noted exceptions, completion of the form elements is optional, as appropriate for the environment used to produce the computational results. If the paper contains no computational results, the abstract should state this, and the rest of the form omitted.
Objective: Use this template to produce a 1 – 2 page appendix for your submission.
Resource: While not an identical type of form, the Artifact Evaluation for Computer Systems’ Research Guide does provide useful guidance for providing the information requested below.
Examples of Artifact Descriptions:
The SC16 Proceedings (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3014904) contains 9 papers with Artifact Descriptions (see end pages of each paper). Three (marked with *) were finalists for the SC17 Student Cluster Competition. Hoehnerback, et. al. (marked with ^) won.
All papers display the “Artifacts Available” badge.
