bma-benchmark

Benchmark for Rust and humans

What is this for

I like testing different libraries, crates and algorithms. I do benchmarks on prototypes almost every day and decided to make a simple dedicated crate for that. Here we go: https://crates.io/crates/bma-benchmark

The benchmark engine is very simple to launch and outputs all required data in a pretty colored readable format.

How to use

Let us create a simple benchmark, using crate macros only:

#[macro_use]
extern crate bma_benchmark;

use std::sync::Mutex;

let n = 100_000_000;
let mutex = Mutex::new(0);
benchmark_start!();
for _ in 0..n {
    let _a = mutex.lock().unwrap();
}
benchmark_print!(n);

Pretty cool, isn't it? Let us create a more complex staged benchmark and compare e.g. Mutex vs RwLock. Staged benchmarks display a comparison table, if the reference stage is specified, the table also contains speed difference for all others.

#[macro_use]
extern crate bma_benchmark;

use std::sync::{Mutex, RwLock};

let n = 10_000_000;
let mutex = Mutex::new(0);
let rwlock = RwLock::new(0);
staged_benchmark_start!("mutex");
for _ in 0..n {
    let _a = mutex.lock().unwrap();
}
staged_benchmark_finish_current!(n);
staged_benchmark_start!("rwlock-read");
for _ in 0..n {
    let _a = rwlock.read().unwrap();
}
staged_benchmark_finish_current!(n);
staged_benchmark_print_for!("rwlock-read");

Need anything more complex? Check the crate docs and use structures manually.

Enjoy!
