[[File:OGRE screenshot 08.png|thumb|A graphical demo running as a benchmark of the [[OGRE]] engine]] In [[computing]], a '''benchmark''' is the act of running a [[computer program]], a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative [[Computer performance|performance]] of an object, normally by running a number of standard [[Software performance testing|tests]] and trials against it.<ref>{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1145/5666.5673| issn = 0001-0782| volume = 29| issue = 3| pages = 218–221| last1 = Fleming| first1 = Philip J.| last2 = Wallace| first2 = John J.| title = How not to lie with statistics: the correct way to summarize benchmark results| journal = Communications of the ACM
The term ''benchmark'' is also commonly utilized for the purposes of elaborately designed benchmarking programs themselves.
Benchmarking is usually associated with assessing performance characteristics of [[computer hardware]], for example, the [[floating point operation]] performance of a [[Central processing unit|CPU]], but there are circumstances when the technique is also applicable to [[software]]. Software benchmarks are, for example, run against [[compiler]]s or [[database management system]]s (DBMS).
Benchmarks provide a method of comparing the performance of various subsystems across different chip/system [[Computer architecture|architectures]]. Benchmarking as a part of [[continuous integration]] is called Continuous Benchmarking.<ref>{{cite conference|doi=10.1109/IC2E.2019.00039|chapter-url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/
