Like any other scientific discipline, the High Performance Computing community suffers under the publish or perish paradigm. As a result, a significant portion of novel algorithm designs and hardware-optimized implementations never make it into production code but are instead abandoned once they served the purpose of yielding (another) publication. At the same time, community software packages driving scientific research lack the addition of new technology and hardware-specific implementations. This results in a very unsatisfying situation where researchers and software developers are working independently, and the traditional peer reviewing is reaching its capacity limits. A paradigm shift that accepts high-quality software pull requests to open source research software as conference contributions may create incentives to realize new and/or improved algorithms in community software ecosystems. In this paper, we propose to complement code reviews on pull requests to scientific open source software with scientific reviews, and allow the presentation and publication of high quality software contributions that present an academic improvement to the state-of-the-art at scientific conferences.

将拉取请求归功于开源研究软件作为学术贡献

像任何其他科学学科一样,高性能计算社区遭受出版或灭亡的苦难范例。结果,相当一部分新颖的算法设计和硬件优化的实现方式从未将其纳入生产代码,而是一旦它们用于产生(另一种)出版物的目的就被废弃了。同时,推动科学研究的社区软件包缺少新技术和特定于硬件的实现。这导致研究人员和软件开发人员独立工作且传统的同行评审达到其能力极限的情况非常不令人满意。作为会议贡献来接受对开源研究软件的高质量软件请求的范式转换可能会激励人们在社区软件生态系统中实现新的和/或改进的算法。在本文中,
