Journal Paper: IEEE Computer, September, 2010

Experiments that do not account for all relevant variables can produce misleading results. The authors identify two variables that compiler optimization evaluations often omit, resulting in significant omitted-variable bias, and discuss how to identify new OVB sources and incorporate them in an experimental design.
