trie-benchmark

trie benchmark for the "longest prefix match" problem.

To generate time performance data (install pytrie, trie, datrie, SuffixTree or remove them from comparison):

$ ./benchmark.py --prefix nosw3_

To plot the data (install numpy/matplotlib):

$ make-figures.py --plot-only --prefix nosw3_

see make-figures.py

Or to combine both with a auto-generated date-based prefix:

$ ./run.sh

See results Performance comparison suffixtree vs. pytrie vs. trie vs. datrie vs. startswith -functions.
