• index.html: overview web page with rankings and score table

• design.css: HTML style definitions

• *.results.txt: TXT results from BenchExec

• *.xml.bz2: XML results from BenchExec

• *.fixed.xml.bz2: XML results from BenchExec, status adjusted according to the validation results

• *.logfiles.zip: output from tools

• *.json.gz: mapping from files names to SHA 256 hashes for the file content

• *.xml.bz2.table.html: HTML views on the detailed results data as generated by BenchExec’s table generator
