[Swift-devel] Swift Performance Data

[Ian Foster]

Or maybe that is clear. I'd suggest that we want a tool that, after a 
run, one of us can run to:

* Generate the three plots that Ioan has created
* Generate a file containing as much information as we can about the run 
and its parameters--maybe a name=value format?--and some derived values 
such as those I mentioned in earlier email
* Move these things to a known place
* Create a Web page with pointers to these information and stick it 
somewhere [or add it to an existing web page?]
