Brian from TechEmpower here. I don't want to take away from these results, but I do want to provide an important piece of context. This link is to a rendering of data from a continuous run [1] that hasn't received the type of sanity checking we do for an official TFB round. You can tell from the title ("Test") and the UUID of the run visible in the gray box under the navigation. Based on this link's attention, we'll make a more prominent warning for renderings of continuous runs so that they are more obvious to readers not familiar with the project.

We execute runs like this continuously to allow maintainers of test implementations to observe the results of their contributions. Given the performance seen here, it is very likely that Lithium will be well ranked in the next official round. But we feel the ranking seen in a continuous run such as this should be taken with a grain of salt until that next official round is available.

Hi Brian, can't wait for round 20 then :D.


Is that why it didn't vary when I selected cloud vs physical?


Yes, this is only physical. The cloud env (Azure) only run once every 1 or 2 months I think. On the official rounds they do both.
