Abstract. In this paper we present the design and implementation of a framework for comprehensive performance evaluation of algorithms, modules, and libraries. Our framework allows for the definition of welldefined test inputs and the subsequent scheduling and execution of structured tests. In addition, the framework provides a web-based interface for user interaction and allows for the convenient browsing, plotting, and statistical analysis of test results. We furthermore report on our experience in using the new framework in the development of cryptographic protocols and algorithms-specifically in the context of secure multi-party computation.
