Mozbench is a cross-browser benchmark suite. Our initial target is to compare firefox and chrome on windows and linux platforms. For more information, see [1] and [2]. The mozbench repository is located at [3] and instructions on setting it up and running the benchmarks can be found in the readme.md file at that location.

Currently, mozbench only has a single benchmark running as a proof of concept. It would be beneficial to add additional benchmarks. One benchmark of interest is textbench which can be found here [4]. A parallel effort to add it to the Talos benchmark suite is tracked by Bug 1049344.

This task involves adding it to the mozbench repo and modifying it to report its results back to the harness. Information on adding a benchmark can be found in the mozbench readme.md.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or run into problems. Because this is one of the first new benchmarks to be added, there may be rough areas in the instructions.

Thanks for your interest!

A good first step would be to grab a copy of mozbench from github and make sure the current benchmarks run ok on your system.

Please let me know once you have that working.

I don't think we have an immediate need for this, so I'm going to close it out.

Hey Dan,

If you want me to pick this up later, that's fine by me.
