Reserve cpus for benchmarking #751
Comments

Hello, thank you for the great tool!
I was wondering whether it's better to combine this tool with something like cpuset, to reserve the cpus the benchmark and hyperfine run on.
Would this make a difference? I understand that hyperfine will catch outliers stemming from, e.g., competing programs, but would this be avoided in the first place by reserving the cpus?
Thank you for your time.
