Results seem to vary between runs

Open idlewan opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

I'm looking at D's results on x86-64 and how they varied today between the runs (1894 1799 2214 1959) without (as far as I could tell) D's code or command line changing between these specific commits.

It might be beneficial to take either the best out of 10 runs, or the average of 10 runs to smooth out the differences and get more consistent results.

If I do that, though, performance degrades each run as the cpu heats up.

Oh, I didn't know about that aspect. The ARM will limit itself and downclock when it heats up too much? How long does it take for it to do that? (I was pointing at x86-64 results. Is it also affected?)

Maybe put a sleep between runs on ARM ? Because performances will degrade for languages tested at the end ?
