Description Filip Pizlo 2011-11-05 18:06:00 PDT

Currently, when you do a long benchmarking run with bencher, you have to either wait or go use another machine until after bencher finishes, to ensure that performance is unperturbed.  Also, if you want to do benchmarking on multiple types of hardware to reduce systematics, you have to move your builds around manually and manually invoke bencher multiple times on multiple machines.  Bencher should be able to do a remote benchmarking run (complete with moving your builds for you) automatically.
