This is the script I've been using for hackbench since it can
be noisy. I expect someone to tell me the math is wrong but
I'd be happy to throw this in a repo if others are interested

#!/bin/sh

CNT=100
mean=0.0
M2=0.0
for i in $(seq 1 $CNT); do
echo $i
r=`hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 | grep Time | cut -d ' ' -f 2`
d_calc="$r-$mean"
d=`echo $d_calc | bc -l`
mean_calc="$mean+($d/$i)"
mean=`echo $mean_calc | bc -l`
M2_calc="$M2+($d*($r-$mean))"
M2=`echo $M2_calc| bc -l`
done

echo "mean $mean"
V_calc="$M2/$(($CNT-1))"
V=`echo $V_calc | bc -l`
DEV_calc="sqrt($V)"
DEV=`echo $DEV_calc | bc -l`
echo "variance $V"
echo "stdev $DEV"
