Abstract
In this article we address the question of developing a lightweight and effective workflow for conducting experimental research on modern parallel computer systems in a reproducible way. Our workflow simply builds on two well-known tools (Org-mode and Git) and enables to address issues such as provenance tracking, experimental setup reconstruction, replicable analysis. Although this workflow is perfectible and cannot be seen as a final solution, we have been using it for two years now and we have recently published a fully reproducible article [3], which demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposal.
