This benchmarking tool can be used to run a collection of benchmarks and render the results into a table.
The example below measures the computational performance of a browser calculating the Lennard-Jones Potential 1,000,000 times. First calculating the value and pushing the result into an array. The second test pre-calculates the 1,000,000 values and only measures the time it takes to read values from the pre-calculated array and store them into the result array.
Update 20200113: very suprising results: Chrome is about 9 times slower calculating the Lennard-Jones Potential than FireFox and Safari!
