Reviewed a paper analyzing lots of HPC system telemetry. Authors developed new ways to solve challenges in the data. It’s well written and reflects diligence and care. But the authors never explain why any of the results actually matter to #HPC users/operators/designers. It’s one of those things where you say “that’s neat!” and move on, because the findings don’t actually have clear impact.

Paper got rejected after other reviewers read my review, but I’ve got heartburn.

@glennklockwood Hmm... The data analysis techniques themselves are not interesting?

@glennklockwood Yep. That's us 😭. I knew you were one of the reviewers. You were the only one in from the PC with such an expertise on that topic 🙂 I will not thank you for the outcome (!!) but thanks for the review! It is by far the best and most useful review we've got for months/years.

@F_Tessier I was surprised by the outcome; I was asked to be an emergency reviewer at the last minute to break a deadlock, so it was the only thing I had to do and it got a lot more attention than the other papers. I figured my review would just give others some context to fine-tune their decisions, but I guess it really swung it.

So...sorry! Like I said, that paper's outcome gave me heartburn.
