I like SMark, so I am evaluating how straightforward would be to move Fuel benchmark suite. A couple of questions:

1) I had some undeclared references, no problem? HeadlessSave class>>run: (RVMOperations is Undeclared) ScriptStarter class>>transportersForFileOutMenu (Transporter is Undeclared)

That's not a problem, both are RoarVM related and not necessary for you. [HeadlessSave was meant to make sure that no random processes are in the image anymore before it is saved. The RVMOperations thing I put in was probably for debugging. #transportersForFileOutMenu is something we use to better manage the fileouts with git. Also not relevant for you. Will try to clean these up soon.]

2) Can I run benchmarks in headless mode using ScriptStarter? How can I try HelloWorld script? I couldn't figure out.

Try: /.../../../cog -headless my.image SMarkHarness --help The class comment should also give you an idea how to use it, I hope. The HelloWorld is used similarly: /.../../../cog -headless my.image HelloWorld something something... ScriptStarter registers itself in the startUp handler chain and will try to figure out whether the first argument is a class name, and then perform #run: on the class. You might need to disable the file loader that is normally in your Pharo image. These two are not compatible unfortunately. Good luck Stefan PS: You are the second user for SMark as far as I know. So, please report any rough edges and missing documentation :) Reinout is more lucky, since he is sitting just in the next office ;)

Thanks, Martín
