      The state of systems research has improved significantly in the last five years. If I see SOSP/OSDI papers in 2011 or 2013, it was rare to have open-source code. If you look at papers published in OSDI/SOSP in the last few years, it is rare to *not* find open-source code.

      this feels exaggerated and it would be nice to see some data. microsoft release more open source for sure.

      I am not saying Pre 2011 people didn’t release source code at all, just as even now fb and other companies don’t release code for sosp/osdi papers. But I definitely do see a trend towards more open sourcing now, especially from academia. I’ll try and get some numbers when I can!

      I thought this was a trend everybody was seeing though. I’m significantly less confident now if you are not seeing this as well. I’ll get the numbers and see if I was mistaken.

      “improved significantly” and “rare” aren’t well-defined so we can both be right. i do know from doing both that open source is not the same as research, and don't think source code release has much to do with “the state”

      The connection is empirical comparison to prior work. If the source code isn't available, and the system is complex, all that can be done is a principle/technique-level comparison. I think being able to run and compare against prior systems makes for more rigorous science?

      For example, I review some papers where authors claim they are better than some prior system. If prior system is open-source, I simply ask for them to evaluate against it. For older complex systems, it becomes much less clear if they would be better or not.

      IMO it really depends. Could just be engineering/implementation differences that are irrelevant to the core design/ideas. An open-source implementation may help understand the paper but evaluation directly using these implementations can also be misguided.

          Yup, definitely agreed. But all things considered, I’d rather have an evaluation with the prior system being run rather than one without.
