Apologies in advance if this is answered in one of the links you posted, but out of curiosity was geometric mean considered?
In the compiler world this is a very common way of aggregating performance results.
FYI I chose to store all timings in the JSON file. So later, you are free to recompute the average differently, compute other statistics, etc. I saw that the CPython benchmark suite has an *option* to compute the geometric mean. I don't understand well the difference with the arithmeric mean. Is the geometric mean recommended to aggregate results of different (unrelated) benchmarks, or also even for multuple runs of a single benchmark? Victor
