You are welcome.
Don’t be fooled into thinking we are experts or have the remotest clue what we are talking about or doing.
You are more than welcome to add your 2cents.
Fear not, the intention of the benchmark is as you hope for.
There has been a lot of talk from me, and not much evidence of my web-based results page. I have struggled immensely with that part. So many solutions which claimed to be able to offer the ability to upload and then show data were failures and did not deliver. I think I have it cracked… Mostly.
This is now as a good a time as any to share where I am. There are currently 2 parts.
1) the upload, and 2) the public results.
Getting the publicly viewable results shown in a clear and presentable manner that can be analysed and interrogated was a important part.
Here is where I am with that. The data is drawn live from the google spreadsheet from which results are uploaded too.
And updates accordingly. The pie charts etc are not final and I will change the metrics displayed/used. It’s just a test to get it working. And will have more useful data shown for your viewing pleasure…
Note. the contents are fabricated by me changing the rawresults.txt files that have been uploaded each time, and don’t represent real results yet.

The uploading part is currently not as pretty. (which will change.) is here

I’d very much appreciate anyone to try uploading some data. Using the rawresults.txt that is generated by the benchmark. please use that file rather than the results.txt as it will add garbage to spreadsheet, I have not yet added code to reject the incorrect file. Yes the results will be kind of useless as we are all using different datasets for now, however for the moment I need help with checking that the uploaded process is working correctly, and the results are displayed properly.
known issues.

Results are show instantly on the upload page, however can take a min+ to appear on the pretty public results. And you will need to manually refresh the page for your uploaded data to appear. This is a limitation of the platform. It caches data on the server to save on resources. Poor google and their lack of resources…

Works on chrome, I do not know about other browsers.
-
The Rawresults.txt must be selected for the upload or terrible things may happen (not that terrible, but will make a mess on the spreadsheet with garbage data)
-
The chart is full of made up data . For now the fact that results can be generated, uploaded, displayed and analysed is the important part.

You can download the results for your own analytical pleasures, there is a hidden button next to the word " Total."
As always. Feedback is really appreciated.
