 ## How does UCC stack up?
 
 We run benchmarks regularly to compare against the most recent versions of the most popular quantum compiler frameworks for a range of circuits. Here's the latest:

 Note that the compile times before 2024-12-10 may have been run on different classical compute instances, so their exact runtime is not as important to compare as their relative performance with respect to other compilers.
 After 2024-12-10, all data present in this plot should be run on the same compute instance using our [ucc-benchmarks](https://github.com/unitaryfund/ucc/blob/main/.github/workflows/ucc-benchmarks.yml) GitHub Actions workflow.

 ## Benchmarking
 
-You can benchmark the performance of ucc against other compilers using `scripts/run_benchmarks.sh`. This script runs compiler benchmarks in parallel, so you will need to first install `parallel` to support it.
