This subrepository holds macro-benchmarks used for Go performance
development and monitoring.
Each benchmark is compiled into a separate binary. To build and
install them all in the current directory, execute:
$ GOBIN=$PWD go get golang.org/x/benchmarks/...
To run a benchmark, simply execute its binary.
Each binary has a number of flags to control benchmark duration, etc.
Run with '-help' to get the full list of flags.
When the benchmarking finishes, the binary prints results in the
standard Go benchmark format [1]:
$ garbage
BenchmarkGarbage/benchmem-MB=64-4 2000 6443223 ns/op 6008832 GC-bytes-from-system 230521 STW-ns/GC 15329 STW-ns/op 2780501 allocated-bytes/op 68636 allocs/op 119041368 bytes-from-system 104202240 heap-bytes-from-system 8109400 other-bytes-from-system 112427008 peak-RSS-bytes 121511936 peak-VM-bytes 720896 stack-bytes-from-system 25194000 user+sys-ns/op
This format can be processed by tools like benchstat
(https://golang.org/x/perf/cmd/benchstat) and benchplot
(https://godoc.org/github.com/aclements/go-misc/benchplot).
Required extra tools:
For Linux, you need "perf". On Debian/Ubuntu, you can install
package "perf-tools-common" to get it. Run "perf" once with no
arguments to check if it requires additional packages to be installed.
