Benchmark runs

Related artifacts

No relations recorded. Relations are typed links -- for example “decodes” or “compatible with” -- asserted by a person and, where possible, backed by evidence.

Related artifacts

    • Both have completed runs on the same benchmark suite (surface-code-memory-decoder-comparison). This is measured, not claimed.
    • Shares tags surface-code, mwpm, and demo.
    • Both have been measured at code distance 3, 5. Overlapping scale is what makes a comparison possible; it does not by itself make one valid.

These artifacts are related, which is a judgement about their metadata. That is not the same as being comparable: whether two results may be ranked together is decided by the compatibility rules against the actual runs, and shared tags or a shared code family do not establish it.
