Presentation
Reproducibility and Provenance for HPC and Distributed Environments
DescriptionThe time when the experimental results of a scientific paper consist of just a plot or some numbers on a table is ending. Computational experiments need to provide mechanisms so that other peers can re-execute and verify that the presented results are true, and thus, reproducible. This session will start by exploring past experiences of former Reproducibility Initiative committee members, to trigger discussion. We will then review ongoing workflow and performance reproducibility initiatives that try to tackle the problem through provenance recording. We expect attendees to share their own experiences in achieving reproducibility, and offer opinions on future directions.
