Lead Developers: Maxime Castelein and Julien Viera (2005)/ Daniel Rolls (2008)

prototype has been developed by Maxime and Julien. However, first experiences indicate room for some improvements to make the tool applicable on a larger scale. Dan tries to put these into action.

Benchmarking programs is always a time consuming task, in particular, when comparing programs specified in different programming languages: comparable versions of the same program need to be collected, compilers need to be installed, compiler flags need to be identified, program parameters need to be adjusted to the performance / capabilities of the executing hardware etc.

The situation becomes even more annoying if measurements need to be redone on a slightly different platform as it usualy requires all ad-hoc mechanisms for measuring, such as makefiles or scripts, to be adjusted.

The core idea of this project is to develop an automated benchmarking system which keeps all relevant measurement parameters in a database and automatically deploys measurements whenever a new benchmark or executing platform is added.

Current Status: finished.
