Gee whiz!  I go to a conference and take a little vacation than there
150 architecture articles with lots on benchmarking all bad.  I've 35
to go and have yet to see a completely scientific one.  No wonder why
physicists don't think of computing "science" as a science {Sorry, John
nothing personal against you}.  You guys should go out and get books on
experiment design: Campbell and Stanley, Cochrane and Cox, or find
one of Phil Heidelberger's (IBM, IEEE) articles.  No sense in trying to
knock down what's wrong with your various horse races {Note I just make
a video tape about this for a supercomputer class at U of Idaho
yesterday}.  More shortly,  we will publish a bibliography for PER.
