The website and benchmarking slave talk to a PostgreSQL database. It's
definitely possible and part of the design to have multiple computers
participating in a distributed fashion, although it's also possible to
run the setup locally and privately for more ad-hoc testing purposes.
I think it's best if participating machines supply data regularly for an
extended period of time. Single or infrequent data points for a specific
configuration don't make much sense. We need to compare apples to apples.
