| 3 | # Random Interleaving |
| 4 | |
| 5 | [Random Interleaving](https://github.com/google/benchmark/issues/1051) is a |
| 6 | technique to lower run-to-run variance. It randomly interleaves repetitions of a |
| 7 | microbenchmark with repetitions from other microbenchmarks in the same benchmark |
| 8 | test. Data shows it is able to lower run-to-run variance by |
| 9 | [40%](https://github.com/google/benchmark/issues/1051) on average. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | To use, you mainly need to set `--benchmark_enable_random_interleaving=true`, |
| 12 | and optionally specify non-zero repetition count `--benchmark_repetitions=9` |
| 13 | and optionally decrease the per-repetition time `--benchmark_min_time=0.1`. |
