[llvm-dev] New LLD performance builder

[Galina Kistanova via llvm-dev]

Hello George,

The bot does 10 runs for each of the benchmarks (those dots in the logs are
meaningful). It seems the statistics quite stable if you would look over
number of revisions.

For example, if one would take a look at the linux-kernel branches -
http://lnt.llvm.org/db_default/v4/link/graph?plot.0=1.12.2&highlight_run=104,
it gets obvious that the number of branches increased significantly as a
result of the r325313. The metric is very stable around the impacted commit.

As the number of branches has increased, the related metrics regress as
well, like branch-misses

I'm sure you have checked that, but, just in case, here is the link to the
LNT doc.

Besides reporting to the lnt.llvm.org, each build contains in the log all
the reported data, so you could process it whatever you want and find
helpful.

Thanks

Galina
