2012-11-07Add a contrib script for comparing the performance of two sets ofcrowl
compiler runs. Usage documentation is in the script. The script produces output of the form: $ compare_two_ftime_report_sets "Log0/*perf" "Log3/*perf" Arithmetic sample for timevar log files "Log0/*perf" and selecting lines containing "TOTAL" with desired confidence 95 is trial count is 4, mean is 443.022 (95% confidence in 440.234 to 445.811), std.deviation is 1.75264, std.error is 0.876322 Arithmetic sample for timevar log files "Log3/*perf" and selecting lines containing "TOTAL" with desired confidence 95 is trial count is 4, mean is 441.302 (95% confidence in 436.671 to 445.934), std.deviation is 2.91098, std.error is 1.45549 The first sample appears to be 0.39% larger, with 60% confidence of being larger. To reach 95% confidence, you need roughly 14 trials, assuming the standard deviation is stable, which is iffy. Tested on x86_64 builds.
