Just to scroll things back a few days here guys: (I just noticed this
message in my backlog)
Anybody else notice that Larry's results are monotonic on both sets of
data ? The chances against monotonicity for each run are 2^9 to 1
against.
This says VERY loudly that these are not random differences - something
else is happening. That something else appears to dwarf the random
effects that are probably present, because monotonicity isn't violated
even a single time.
Then compare first and last entries for the second run and you get a
non-trivial difference...
The fact that the times are varying even until the end of each run says
that something hasn't equilibrated (probably a cache thing) and that
drawing conclusions from the results is subject to some dangers.
And yeah, the median certainly covered *that* thing up, no?
Comments?
