Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for combining multiple benchmarks for use in assessing characteristics of a computing system. For example, a method for configuring and running multiple benchmarks includes the following steps. A multiple benchmark specification is obtained. The multiple benchmark specification includes multiple individual benchmark specifications and a multiple benchmark workflow describing an ordering according to which the multiple individual benchmarks are to be configured and run. The multiple benchmarks are configured and run according to the ordering identified in the multiple benchmark workflow. Results of the multiple benchmark runs are recorded. One or more specifications or results associated with at least one of the multiple benchmarks are utilized as part of a benchmark specification for at least another of the multiple benchmarks so as to provide consistency between at least the one and the other of the multiple benchmarks.
