This webpage contains extra material for the Robust Java benchmarking series of articles (Part 1: Issues and Part 2: Statistics and solutions) which were published at IBM developerWorks.

Article supplement

Augmenting the original text is some highly specialized documentation that I have placed into an article supplement. These formats are available:

If anyone knows of a free open source way to convert Microsoft Word 2007 documents to an open format which would preserve the equations in MathML as well as leave hyperlinks working, please email me. I am aware of Microsoft's pdf convertor add-on, but that requires a valid copy of MS Office which I no longer have. (Plus, I have no idea how well it works.) I am also aware that OpenOffice 3 will be able to import from/export to MS Office 2007, so let me know when it is released (or the beta is stable enough for this purpose).

Java code

The following may be downloaded:

Note: to actually run the code listings from the article, must first download the benchmarking framework.

Warning: all the text files in both downloads should be proper text files (that is, use unix '\n' line ends). So, if you are a Windows user, you will need a decent text editor to read them (NotePad/WordPad may not cut it; I highly recommend TextPad).
