82  " bitcoin-bench executes microbenchmarks. The quality of the "
83  "benchmark results\n"
84  " highly depend on the stability of the machine. It can "
85  "sometimes be difficult\n"
86  " to get stable, repeatable results, so here are a few tips:\n"
87  "\n"
88  " * Use pyperf [1] to disable frequency scaling, turbo boost "
89  "etc. For best\n"
90  " results, use CPU pinning and CPU isolation (see [2]).\n"
91  "\n"
92  " * Each call of run() should do exactly the same work. E.g. "
93  "inserting into\n"
94  " a std::vector doesn't do that as it will reallocate on "
95  "certain calls. Make\n"
96  " sure each run has exactly the same preconditions.\n"
97  "\n"
98  " * If results are still not reliable, increase runtime with "
99  "e.g.\n"
100  " -min_time=5000 to let a benchmark run for at least 5 "
101  "seconds.\n"
102  "\n"

112  "like so:\n"
113  "\n"
114  " NANOBENCH_ENDLESS=MuHash ./bitcoin-bench -filter=MuHash\n"
115  "\n"
