> If the argument is that two runs of the same benchmark do not agree due to randomness, then I do not understand how having the same seed per thread or different seeds per thread changes this behavior: the seed will still be set when the process starts and will be different per run. I don't think that it should be different per run per benchmark, that's why it is variating. https://github.com/bheisler/criterion.rs/blob/4499ee5e32f59c0c15eb046dd7a2dfd0c15a96f7/src/stats/univariate/sample.rs#L210 > Seeding the random number generators can be done using the existing rand crate, in the following way (this took me longer to figure out from the rand crate's documentation than I would like to admit): Yeah, I didn't want to write a const compiled and people forget to use the same seed every time. My implementation does some extra faster stuff compared to rand too.
