NAME
Bencher::Scenario::SPVM::Prime - Benchmark SPVM (check if number is prime)
VERSION
This document describes version 0.008 of Bencher::Scenario::SPVM::Prime (from Perl distribution Bencher-Scenarios-SPVM), released on 2022-11-24.
SYNOPSIS
To run benchmark with default option:
% bencher -m SPVM::PrimeFor more options (dump scenario, list/include/exclude/add participants, list/include/exclude/add datasets, etc), see bencher or run bencher --help.
DESCRIPTION
Packaging a benchmark script as a Bencher scenario makes it convenient to include/exclude/add participants/datasets (either via CLI or Perl code), send the result to a central repository, among others . See Bencher and bencher (CLI) for more details.

SPVM::Examples 0.004
BENCHMARK PARTICIPANTS
Inline::C (perl_code)
Perl (perl_code)
SPVM (perl_code)
SPVM_precompile (perl_code)

BENCHMARK NOTES
In this case, SPVM offers ~2x speed-up and near the performance of C code with precompilation.
My general impression on SPVM (Nov 2022, v0.9662): the parser is currently still buggy (e.g. insignificant whitespace causing syntax error). The significant speed-up and native compilation are nice features. If the language proves to be convenient enough for Perl programmers, it might become a useful addition to their toolbox.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -lIf you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
