About

Benchmarking & profiling utilities w/ various statistics & formatters (CSV, JSON, Markdown etc.).

Though no public API change (only additions), since v2.0.0 this library internally (via now()) attempts to use high-res ES BigInt timestamps (in Node via process.hrtime.bigint()) or falls back to performance.now() or lacking that to Date.now(). In all cases, returns a (possibly rounded) nanosec-scale timestamp, either as bigint or number. The timeDiff() function can be used to compute the difference between two such timestamp and return it as milliseconds.

API

Basic usage

// functions to benchmark...
const fib = (n: number) =>
    n > 2
        ? fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
        : n > 0
            ? 1
            : 0;

const fib2 = (n: number) => {
    const res = [0, 1];
    for(let i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
        res[i] = res[i - 1] + res[i - 2];
    }
    return res[n];
};
import { timed, bench } from "@thi.ng/bench";

<<test-functions>>

// measure single execution time
console.log(timed(() => fib(40)));
// 318.86ms
// 102334155

console.log(timed(() => fib2(40)));
// 0.05ms
// 102334155

// measure 1mil iterations (default)
console.log(bench(() => fib(10), 1e6));
// 157.41ms
// 55

console.log(bench(() => fib2(10), 1e6));
// 95.97ms
// 55

Benchmarking with statistics

The benchmark() function executes a number of warmup runs, before executing the main measurement and producing a number of useful statistics: mean, median, min/max, 1st/3rd quartile, standard deviation (as percentage)...

See api.ts for configuration options.

Also see the formatting section below for other output options. This example uses the default format...

import { benchmark } from "@thi.ng/bench";

<<test-functions>>

benchmark(() => fib(40), { title: "fib", iter: 10, warmup: 5 });
// benchmarking: fib
//         warmup... 1480.79ms (5 runs)
//         total: 2917.41ms, runs: 10 (@ 1 calls/iter)
//         freq: 3.43 ops/sec
//         mean: 291.74ms, median: 291.67ms, range: [291.51..292.58]
//         q1: 291.55ms, q3: 291.79ms
//         sd: 0.10%

// also returns results:
// {
//   title: "fib",
//   iter: 10,
//   size: 1,
//   total: 2917.4060010000003,
//   freq: 3.4277025537660157,
//   mean: 291.74060010000005,
//   median: 291.668125,
//   min: 291.50624999999997,
//   max: 292.581834,
//   q1: 291.55116699999996,
//   q3: 291.788417,
//   sd: 0.10295312107365955,
// }

Benchmark suites

Multiple benchmarks can be run sequentially as suite (also returns an array of all results):

import { suite, FORMAT_MD } from "@thi.ng/bench";

<<test-functions>>

suite(
    [
        { title: "fib2(10)", fn: () => fib2(10) },
        { title: "fib2(20)", fn: () => fib2(20) },
        { title: "fib2(30)", fn: () => fib2(30) },
        { title: "fib2(40)", fn: () => fib2(40) },
    ],
    { iter: 10, size: 100000, warmup: 5, format: FORMAT_MD }
)

// |                   Title|    Iter|    Size|       Total|   Frequency|    Mean|  Median|     Min|     Max|      Q1|      Q3|     SD%|

Output formatting

The following output formatters are available. Custom formatters can be easily defined (see source for examples). Formatters are configured via the format option given to benchmark() or suite().

  • FORMAT_DEFAULT - default plain text formatting
  • FORMAT_CSV - Comma-separated values (w/ column header)
  • FORMAT_MD - Markdown table format

Profiling

Since v3.3.0 the package also provides a basic profiler to take named measurements and compute derived statistics. The profiler can by dynamically enabled/disabled, supports recursion and estimates/subtracts its internal overhead. Results can be obtained as JSON objects or CSV.

import { Profiler } from "@thi.ng/bench";

// initialize with 1million warmup iterations to compute internal overhead (takes around ~100ms)
const profiler = new Profiler({ warmup: 1e6 });

// recursive function
const countdown = (n, acc = []) => {
    profiler.start("countdown");
    if (n > 0) countdown(n - 1, (acc.push(n),acc));
    profiler.end("countdown");
    return acc;
}

countdown(10);
// [ 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ]

countdown(5);
// [ 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ]

// obtain results
profiler.deref()
// {
//   countdown: {
//     id: 'countdown',
//     total: 0.028939979283999998,
//     timePerCall: 0.0017023517225882353,
//     totalPercent: 95.99309794988116,
//     calls: 17,
//     callsPercent: 100,
//     maxDepth: 11
//   }
// }

// results formatted as CSV
console.log(profiler.asCSV())
// "id","total (ms)","time/call (ms)","total (%)","calls","calls (%)","max depth"
// "countdown",0.0289,0.0017,17,95.99,100.00,11
