I was trying to be clear that I was referring to papers which are talking about code they wrote. If you wrote (say) a program to predict the throughput of machine code, then I want to be able to reproduce the results you claim - thats a real example, no hint of any source yet and I've been looking. If we can't reproduce it isn't really science. I know academics often write bad code and don't like to publish their dirty work, but the buck has to stop somewhere.
