How do you determine baseline load of the test machine in order to qualify the correctness of the benchmark?
Assuming the compiling, and testing is done in the cloud how do you ensure the target platform (processor) doesn't change, and that you aren't being subjected to neighbors who are stealing RAM bandwidth, or CPU cache resources from your VM and impacting the results?
