Yippee!! Everybody please thank Jesse Noller when you see him. :-) Laura ------- Forwarded Message Date: Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 12:05 AM Subject: speed.python.org machine online To: Python-Dev <python-dev@python.org>, pypy-dev@codespeak.net I've posted a more expansive entry on my blog: http://jessenoller.com/2011/06/29/announcing-the-new-speed-python-org-machin... But the short version, that as discussed at the VM and language summit, we now have a hosted machine dedicated to the running of cross-interpreter speed tests, etc. The hardware was generously donate by HP and the hosting provided, again, free, by OSU/OSL.
