What it does

Ppopp Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when making a PPoPP paper's parallel-performance results reproducible, covering the hardware and topology description reviewers re-run, thread pinning and NUMA control, seeds and warm-up, compiler/driver/flag provenance, and building an environment that reproduces the paper's scaling trend on different machines.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Making a PPoPP papers parallel-performance results reproducible
  • Covering the hardware and topology description reviewers re-run
  • Thread pinning and NUMA control
  • Seeds and warm-up

Example prompts

  • “/ppopp-reproducibility”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ppopp Reproducibility loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 394 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when making a PPoPP paper's parallel-performance results reproducible, covering the hardware and topology description reviewers re-run, thread pinning and NUMA control, seeds and warm-up, compiler/driver/flag provenance, and building an environment that reproduces the paper's scaling trend on different machines.

PPoPP Reproducibility

Build the reproducibility story that a parallel-performance paper needs. Unlike a deterministic algorithm, a PPoPP result depends on the machine, the topology, and the run conditions — and an evaluator or a future reader will not have your exact node. Reproducibility here means someone else can rebuild the environment and recover the scaling trend and the relative comparison, even when their absolute numbers differ. Pin everything you can at run time; you cannot reconstruct it after the machine is released.

The environment description reviewers actually re-run

State enough that a stranger could stand up the same experiment:

text
[CPU]        exact model, sockets, cores/threads, base/turbo policy, NUMA node layout
[Memory]     size, channels, speed; per-socket bandwidth if it bounds you
[GPU]        model, count, driver + CUDA/ROCm version, connection (PCIe/NVLink)
[Interconnect] for multi-node: fabric and topology
[Software]   OS + kernel, compiler + version + exact flags, libraries + versions, allocator
[Runtime]    thread count(s), pinning/affinity policy, scheduler settings, env vars

An evaluation whose machine is described only as "a Linux server" is the one reviewers trust least and cannot reproduce.

Control the sources of parallel non-determinism

  • Thread pinning / affinity. Pin threads to cores and state the policy; unpinned runs migrate and produce unrepeatable numbers. Document NUMA placement (e.g., numactl, first-touch policy).
  • Warm-up. Discard JIT, cache, and allocator warm-up; report the steady-state measurement protocol and how many iterations you drop.
  • Seeds. Fix and record seeds for any randomized workload, input generator, or scheduler.
  • Frequency scaling. Disable turbo/DVFS or report that it is on; otherwise speedups drift with temperature and neighbors.
  • Isolation. Run on a quiescent machine with no co-tenants; note it.
  • Repeats. Multiple runs with reported variance — reproducibility includes the spread, not just the mean.

Reproduce the trend, not just the number

Because evaluators have different hardware, design the package so the conclusion survives a change of machine:

  • Provide a scaled-down configuration whose curve shape (linear region, saturation point) matches the paper, runnable on modest hardware.
  • State the minimum configuration on which the claim still holds, and the tolerance within which you consider a result reproduced (e.g., "monotone speedup to the machine's core count," or "within 10% at matched core counts").
  • Separate machine-dependent absolute throughput from machine-independent claims (relative speedup, scaling shape, correctness).

Data and workloads

  • Ship or point to the exact inputs (graphs, matrices, traces) with sizes and provenance, not just a generator script — or ship the generator with its seed.
  • For real-application workloads, document versions and how they were built; a benchmark suite name without a version pin is not reproducible.

Correctness reproducibility

  • If a model checker or race detector supports your correctness claim, ship its configuration and the harness so the check itself can be re-run, not just described.

Pre-submission reproducibility pass

text
[Fresh checkout]  build from a clean clone in the pinned container -> succeeds?
[Blind re-run]    a colleague re-runs a scaling figure on a *different* machine -> trend matches?
[Provenance]      every number in the paper traces to a script + a recorded machine config?
[Anonymity]       the review-time package hides machine names, accounts, and personal repos?

Output format

[Non-determinism] pinning, warm-up, seeds, frequency, isolation, repeats controlled? list gaps
[Trend portability] scaled config + minimum config + tolerance stated? yes/no
