But what about deterministic thread switching (i.e., a deterministic scheduler)? Of course that really only works trivially in a single threaded environment, but maybe it could also be made to workin a multi-threaded case? People have certainly done work on getting the same choices made on repeated runs, if only for debugging hard cases (and it's related to finding race conditions, too). Anyway, these are properties of the VM (including, by implications, the run-time and possibly parts of the OS), not of the benchmark. Cheers -- Eliot |
