 +
 +===== Final Project Report (December 20th) =====
 +
 +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:
 +
 +  * A descriptive title and author names
 +  * Abstract
 +  * Introduction (Problem and Motivation)
 +  * Related Work and its Shortcomings
 +  * Description of the Techniques (designed and evaluated)
 +  * Evaluation Methodology
 +  * Results and Analyses
 +  * Conclusion/​Summary
 +  * Lessons Learned, Shortcomings,​ and Future Work
 +  * Acknowledgements (if any)
 +  * References (cited throughout the paper)
 +
 +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).
