1051798 - Add Massive benchmark to mozbench

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: General, defect)

Description

[Dan Minor [:dminor]]

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 Massive, which measures asm.js performance [4].

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.

Turns out this one is a bit too involved to be a good first bug.
