==Metrics==
The following aspects of each given implementation are measured:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/how-programs-are-measured.html|title=How programs are measured
* overall user [[Run_time_(program_lifecycle_phase)|runtime]]
* peak [[memory allocation]]
Line 52:
==Benchmark programs==
It was a design choice from the start to only include very simple toy problems, each providing a different kind of programming challenge.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/why-measure-toy-benchmark-programs.html|title=Why toy programs?
This provides users of the Benchmark Game the opportunity to scrutinize the various implementations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/description/nbody.html#nbody|title=n-body description (64-bit Ubuntu quad core)

==History==
The project was known as ''The Great Computer Language Shootout'' until 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/sometimes-people-just-make-up-stuff.html#history|title=Trust, and verify
A port for Windows was maintained separately between 2002 and 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dada.perl.it/shootout/|title=The Great Win32 Computer Language Shootout|website=Dada.perl.it|accessdate=13 December 2017}}</ref>

There are also older forks on GitHub.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/Byron/benchmarksgame-cvs-mirror|title=benchmarksgame-cvs-mirror: A git mirror of the benchmarksgame cvs repository|first=Sebastian|last=Thiel|date=24 October 2017|publisher=[[GitHub]]|accessdate=13 December 2017}}</ref>
The project is continuously evolving. The list of supported programming languages is updated approximately once per annum, following market trends. Users can also submit improved solutions to any of the problems or suggest testing methodology refinement.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/play.html|title=Contribute your own program
