THE IMPORTANT NUMBERS
Prepared steady-state matrix
Rows are equivalent workloads. Columns are runtimes. Lower is better.
COMMON WORKLOAD SET
Runtime rankings
Geometric-mean slowdown against the fastest runtime per workload, with coverage kept visible.
WHERE TIME GOES
Preparation and execution
Lifecycle phases are separate. Cold totals are not presented as pure runtime startup.
NO HIDDEN IMPLEMENTATION
Exact tested code
Workload source, preparation, runner harness and correctness checksum.
PROVENANCE
Runs, versions and machine
Results only mean something when their environment is visible.
