All:
Matt Diephouse and I spent the majority of our time
coming up with a flexible design and gathering
historical statistics. We didn't spend a lot of time
in how to present the data since everybody has their
own opinion (including us).
What we would like to do is determine if what we have
done so far is sufficient or, if not, what
specifically
people would like to see. Some of our unimplemented
ideas so far are:
1. Include the computed goto core
2. Summary of results over N week(s)/month(s)
3. Provide user form for dynamic results
If people would like this, they also need to
indicate what the form should provide:
(benchmark name, date, executable, etc)
4. Provide HTML table of data for some/all of graphs
5. Provide links for people to work locally
A. A db schema/structure dump so people can
collect statistics on other architectures
B. Source code
C. daily db dump
If you would like to see any of these ideas
implemented, or you have some of your own - please
respond to this on the list.
While Matt and I are likely to do some of the work, we
are always open to volunteers as well. In fact, if
this idea generates a lot of buzz, we may cross post
to other Perl forums such as PerlMonks
(http://www.perlmonks.org). This is a perfect way for
non C programmers and those who have no knowledge of
Parrot to still contribute in a meaningful way.
Cheers
