Hi:

I have currently the following benchmarks at hand, partially taken from 
PharoBenchmarks and partially from the language shootout 
(http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/, 
https://alioth.debian.org/snapshots.php?group_id=30402).

CompilerBench.st
FloatLoopBench.st
IntLoopBench.st
RoarParallelTinyBench.st
StartupBench.st

NasParallelBenchmarksIS.st

BinaryTrees.st
Chameleon.st
FannkuchRedux.st
Fasta.st
NBody.st
PermGeneratorRedux.st
ChameneosRedux.st

RoarSlopstoneBenchmark.st
RoarSmopstoneBenchmark.st

This also includes a small benchmark harness that allows parallel execution, 
i.e., benchmark for weak scalability. It also includes the necessary details to 
be run in batch mode from the command-line, very important to do performance 
regression testing for our RoarVM. An in-image-only solution does not provide 
enough flexibility for us.

Would be interesting to discuss these things today or tomorrow at the sprint.

Best regards
Stefan
