This folder contains a couple of benchmark utities and Eigen benchmarks.

****************************
* bench_multi_compilers.sh *
****************************

This script allows to run a benchmark on a set of different compilers/compiler options.
It takes two arguments:
 - a file defining the list of the compilers with their options
 - the .cpp file of the benchmark

Examples:

$ ./bench_multi_compilers.sh basicbench.cxxlist basicbenchmark.cpp
