Designs structured benchmarks comparing algorithms, models, or implementations with metrics, test cases, hardware context, and reproduction steps. Triggers on: "benchmark", "compare performance", "which is faster", "latency comparison", "run benchmark", "throughput test", "speed test".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Benchmark Runner

Standardizes performance comparison methodology: metric selection, test case design,
environment capture, result formatting, and tradeoff analysis. Produces reproducible
benchmark reports that support informed decisions — not just "A is faster than B" but
"A is faster for small inputs while B scales better."

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/benchmark-runner@sha256:fcc00f47b1c8f2fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
