Class Method Details

.bench_exp(min, max, base = 10) ⇒ Object

Returns a set of ranges stepped exponentially from min to max by powers of base. Eg:

bench_exp(2, 16, 2) # => [2, 4, 8, 16]

  max = (Math.log10(max) / Math.log10(base)).to_i

  (min..max).map { |m| base ** m }.to_a
end

.bench_linear(min, max, step = 10) ⇒ Object

Returns a set of ranges stepped linearly from min to max by step. Eg:

bench_linear(20, 40, 10) # => [20, 30, 40]

  r = []; (min..max).step(step) { |n| r << n }; r
end

.bench_range ⇒ Object

Specifies the ranges used for benchmarking for that class. Defaults to exponential growth from 1 to 10k by powers of 10. Override if you need different ranges for your benchmarks.

Instance Method Details

#assert_performance(validation, &work) ⇒ Object

Runs the given work, gathering the times of each run. Range and times are then passed to a given validation proc. Outputs the benchmark name and times in tab-separated format, making it easy to paste into a spreadsheet for graphing or further analysis.

Ranges are specified by ::bench_range.

Eg:

def bench_algorithm
  validation = proc { |x, y| ... }
  assert_performance validation do |n|
    @obj.algorithm(n)
  end
end

  range = self.class.bench_range

  io.print "#{self.name}"

  times = []

  range.each do |x|
    GC.start
    t0 = Minitest.clock_time
    instance_exec(x, &work)
    t = Minitest.clock_time - t0

    io.print "\t%9.6f" % t
    times << t
  end
  io.puts

  validation[range, times]
end

#assert_performance_constant(threshold = 0.99, &work) ⇒ Object

Runs the given work and asserts that the times gathered fit to match a constant rate (eg, linear slope == 0) within a given threshold. Note: because we’re testing for a slope of 0, R^2 is not a good determining factor for the fit, so the threshold is applied against the slope itself. As such, you probably want to tighten it from the default.

See www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/8/curve-fitting/reg_intepretingnonlinr2.htm for more details.

Fit is calculated by #fit_linear.

Ranges are specified by ::bench_range.

Eg:

def bench_algorithm
  assert_performance_constant 0.9999 do |n|
    @obj.algorithm(n)
  end
