You will hand in a report in the conference submission style. Your final report should be formatted and written as if you are submitting the report to a top computer architecture conference. The report should include the following:
The page limit is 10 double column, single-spaced pages. Make sure your document is spell-checked and grammatically sound. You are encouraged to use the LaTeX template above.
Advice: The key characteristic that distinguishes a “good” research paper from a “bad” one is the existence of “clearly explained insight.” I expect the highest quality of writing as well as clear descriptions of the ideas and techniques from the final report. Even if your research results in a “negative result” (not all research ideas pan out to be useful, in fact few of them do) writing it in a very insightful and intuitive manner can make the research very powerful and important. So, please do spend a significant amount of time and effort to ensure that your report is insightful and explains the ideas very clearly (possibly with examples and good analogies).
