Research into distributed parallelism on “the cloud” has surged lately. As the research agenda and methodology in this area are being established, we observe a tendency towards certain common simplifications and shortcuts employed by researchers, which we provocatively term “sins”. We believe that these sins, in some cases, are threats to the scientific integrity and practical applicability of the research presented. In this paper, we identify and discuss seven “deadly sins” (many of which we have ourselves committed!), present evidence illustrating that they pose real problems, and discuss ways for the community to avoid them in the future.
