+## File tree structure
+
+### Directories
+
+Benchmarks testing the performance of a single node submodule are placed into a
+directory with the corresponding name, so that they can be executed by submodule
+or individually.
+Benchmarks that span multiple submodules may either be placed into the `misc`
+directory or into a directory named after the feature they benchmark.
+E.g. benchmarks for various new ECMAScript features and their pre-ES2015
+counterparts are placed in a directory named `es`.
+Fixtures that are not specific to a certain benchmark but can be reused
+throughout the benchmark suite should be placed in the `fixtures` directory.
