# Benchmarking scripts for Lix
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are very much WIP, and have a few clumsy assumptions that we would
|
||
|
|
somewhat rather be fixed, but we have committed them to let others be able to
|
||
|
|
do benchmarking in the mean time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Benchmarking procedure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Build some Lixes you want to compare, by whichever means you wish.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get a computer that is not busy and *strongly preferably* is bare-metal or at
|
||
|
|
least not a cloud VM (e.g. go make coffee when running benchmarks).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From the root of a Lix checkout, run `./bench/bench.sh resultlink-one
|
||
|
|
resultlink-two`, where `resultlink-one` and `resultlink-two` are the result
|
||
|
|
links from the builds you want to test (they can be any directory with bin/nix
|
||
|
|
in it, however).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get the summary again, run `./bench/summarize.jq bench/bench-*.json`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example results
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(vim tip: `:r !bench/summarize.jq bench/bench-*.json` to dump it directly into
|
||
|
|
your editor)
|
||
|
|
|
