Is the S.D. columns (immediately after the average) standard deviation? If so, you may want to rename those 'stdev', as it's a little confusing to have S.D. stand for that and Staircase Deadline. Further, which standard deviation is it? (The standard deviation of the values (stdev), or the standard deviation of the mean (sdom)?) Finally, if it is the standard deviation (of either), then I don't really believe those numbers for the glxgears case. The deviation is huge for all but one of those results. Regardless, it's good that you're doing measurements, and keep it up :-). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
