Surely in today's world with elastic compute and robust virtual containers, it should be possible to replace thankless volunteer work with automated, self-service processes.
I'm not saying it would be easy (or economically viable), but it's certainly possible. Somebody should try it.
- awj 13y agoTaking the measurements isn't really the thankless volunteer work involved here. The work is in ensuring new programs actually follow the intent of the benchmark and work across supported architectures. This isn't an automateable task, although it may be a crowdsource-able one. Luckily the benchmark game publishes pretty much all of the tooling they use, so you could probably get a pretty big headstart there on your improvements.
- brandonbloom 13y agoFair enough. Although, I view crowdsourcing as an implementation detail of an automated process.
