# Runs the benchmarks.
#
# It runs several benchmarks across several languages. For each
# benchmark/language pair, it runs a number of trials. Each trial is one run of
# a single benchmark script. It spawns a process and runs the script. The
# script itself is expected to output some result which this script validates
# to ensure the benchmark is running correctly. Then the benchmark prints an
# elapsed time. The benchmark is expected to do the timing itself and only time
# the interesting code under test.
#
# This script then runs several trials and takes the best score. (It does
# multiple trials to account for random variance in running time coming from
# OS, CPU rate-limiting, etc.) It takes the best time on the assumption that
# that represents the language's ideal performance and any variance coming from
# the OS will just slow it down.
#
# After running a series of trials the benchmark runner will compare all of the
# language's performance for a given benchmark. It compares by running time
# and score, which is just the inverse running time.
#
# For Wren benchmarks, it can also compare against a "baseline". That's a
# recorded result of a previous run of the Wren benchmarks. This is useful --
# critical, actually -- for seeing how Wren performance changes. Generating a
# set of baselines before a change to the VM and then comparing those to the
# performance after a change is how we track improvements and regressions.
#
# To generate a baseline file, run this script with "--generate-baseline".
