PUBLIC API

Benchmark execution

Result manipulation

Result format

After the execution of a set of benchmarks the raw result returned by this package is a Tcl dictionary containing all the relevant information. The dictionary is a compact representation, i.e. serialization, of a 2-dimensional table which has Tcl interpreters as columns and benchmarks as rows. The cells of the table contain the timing results. The Tcl interpreters / columns are identified by their paths. The benchmarks / rows are identified by their description.

The possible keys are all valid Tcl lists of two or three elements and have one of the following forms:
