Allocation benchmarks

This is research into allocation types and how efficient they are in different scenarios.

dependencies

The following programs are required to build this project

• gcc (or equivalent)
• g++ (or equivalent)
• cmake
• git
• texlive (may require texlive-full)
• libtool
• automake
• ncat (for running a server during sporadic tests)

Build

git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(pwd)/bin
make
make install

turn off building of docs by changing the cmake command to:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DNO_DOCS=true

Run a single test

./build/code/light_usage_test --benchmark_repetitions=10 --benchmark_display_aggregates_only=true --benchmark_out=./light_usage_test.results --benchmark_out_format=json

Run all tests and generate data

cd build/bin
./run_tests.sh

Install dependencies for graph generation

python3 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Display results

From the build directory, and after run_tests.sh

./code/graph.py light_usage_test.results -g 'small' 'large' 'struct' 'recursive'

Create graphs for pdf

mkdir graphs
./bin/create_graphs.sh bin/ output/ graphs
