This looks really exciting!
Do you plan to add a way so that people can submit performance data?
I.e., if I set up my own test box and want to submit a result once a week
for that, will there be a way for me to get set up with a
username/password, submit configuration information, and then automatically
submit test result datapoints? Especially if I can specify both the X and
Y coordinates so that I can backdate results should I go back and generate
test results for old kernels?
The website and benchmarking slave talk to a PostgreSQL database. It's
definitely possible and part of the design to have multiple computers
participating in a distributed fashion, although it's also possible to run
the setup locally and privately for more ad-hoc testing purposes.
Sounds good.
I think it's best if participating machines supply data regularly for an
extended period of time. Single or infrequent data points for a specific
configuration don't make much sense. We need to compare apples to apples.
Yes -- I was mostly thinking about backdating in order to play "catchup" when
a new benchmark is introduced.
