[Fonc] Software benchmarking workshop, April 20, King's College London

Best Practices in Software Benchmarking 2016 (#bench16)
Wednesday April 20 2016
King's College London
http://soft-dev.org/events/bench16/
Registration closes: April 6


For computer scientists and software engineers, benchmarking (evaluating the
running time of a piece of software, or the performance of a piece of
hardware)
is a common method for evaluating new techniques. However, there is little
agreement on how benchmarking should be carried out, how to control for
confounding variables, how to analyse latency data, or how to aid the
repeatability of experiments. This free workshop will be a venue for
computer
scientists and research software engineers to discuss their current best
practices and future directions.
