For me it was more important to implement the same algorithm in a similar way on all computers.

Yes! This is exactly what I try to get through to people who rewrite benchmarks and try to compare their version with the published results.

It's not a valid hardware comparison if you're not using the same algorithm. Ideally, you should use identical code as well. Having Python on various calculators is making this easier but even if you can't reuse the published code directly, at least use the same algorithm.
