Description

Make it trivial for people to contribute benchmark results from their hardware without installing anything permanently.

Create a script that:

  • Downloads and extracts Zig and Rust toolchains to temp directory
  • Clones the benchmark suite
  • Runs benchmarks with --save-results
  • Uploads results to a collection endpoint
  • Cleans up everything afterwards

Example usage:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jadnohra/zig-crypto-bench/main/run.sh | sh

This would maximize hardware coverage by making contribution zero-friction.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a shell script that downloads Zig and Rust toolchains, clones the repo, runs benchmarks with save results, uploads results, and cleans up. Use temporary directories and ensure idempotency.
