I have been asked if it was possible to put the result on a web
page. I am thinking about writing a small program that, having access
to some benchmark log files in a directory, would generate a ranked
comparison page for any two that were selected, or a ranking of all
benchmark runs for one single selected benchmark.
When I have written it (I hope quite soon), I will need the help of
somebody who has a web server on a fast internet node, using the
standard NCSA httpd (or Apache, that is the one that I have installed
here, and that I will use for testing). I will have to install a few
executables and http pages, and then I will upload the log file for
each new release. Other people could submit their log files, too.
If YOU want to be the proud home of this wonderful new service 8-)
drop me a line. I expect to find the time to write the software in the
next 1/2 weeks.
