Revision history for Benchmark-Perl-Formance
0.35 2015-04-06
- rework metainformation, mostly for Tapper augmentation
0.34 2015-04-05
- adapt to bootstrap-perl changes
- carved out cpu speed stabilization code
- generate results following Tapper's BenchmarkAnythingData schema
0.33 2012-09-19
- drop tests that require dependencies
0.32 2012-09-18
- fix dependency cleanup, no more [AutoPrereqs]
0.31 2012-09-07
- very few dependencies now,
not even Perl::Formance::Cargo anymore,
completely rely on Task::PerlFormance for that
- therefore now more usable for quick microbenchmarks
- capture more errors and handle gracefully
- avoid output flooding
0.30 2012-08-17
- set $0 to plugin name
(sorry for the micro releases, I'm on vacation :-))
0.29 2012-08-17
- FibMXDeclare: disabled in --plugins=ALL
(it is extremely too slow to make any sense)
0.28 2012-08-16
- Dist::Zill'ified
- depend on newer Devel::Size
- remove legacy MooseTS code completely
- Plugin::DPath without Safe.pm
- rework P6STD plugin to work again
- polish debug/verbose output
0.27 2012-05-24
- conditionally use Devel::Size only if available
0.26 2012-01-26
- MooseTS: disabled in --plugins=ALL
This benchmark idea turned out to not work as
expected. Disable it for easier living.
- RegexpCommonTS: no more in with prove -Q (quiet) mode as under
circumstances with 5.9.x quirks that's not available. It makes
the benchmark slightly slower.
0.25 2012-01-04
- fix SpamAssassin plugin (set used Bayes plugin explicitely)
0.24 2011-11-22
- modify variation in exe names for codespeed: now only perl-5.15
in contrast to perl-5.15.5, but additionally name threads and
64bit-support.
0.23 2011-08-13
- Codespeed support
it can generate additional data blocks in TAP that
already fit the structure needed by Codespeed
(http://github.com/tobami/codespeed)
0.22 2010-08-04
- Big Rescale
- The --fastmode is now slower but actually returning useful
values for experimenting speed improvements or configurations.
This probably makes it the preferred mode for everyday users.
- The normal mode (targeted to compare real strong machines)
now takes less time on some crazy workloads that went mental
even for big machines.
- some more tests
0.21 2010-07-30
- Maintenance release
- fixed missing PLUGIN_VERSION in output
- fix missing plugin titles
- document --plugins=ALL
- drop dependency to Test::Aggregate::Nested (orphaned experiment)
- introduced an "Incubator" plugin as an experimental,
non-official playing field
0.20 2010-07-27
- default set of plugins now "mostly harmless", ie., which
should work with same dependencies as Perl::Formance itself:
- Fib FibOO, Mem, Prime, Rx, fasta, regexdna, binarytrees,
revcomp, nbody, spectralnorm
- additionaly a new --plugins=ALL option which runs all known
plugins.
- all plugins now have their own version numbers
- RxCmp plugin: new re::engine::RE2
- Mem plugin: now implemented something
- Threads plugin:
- less inner thread overhead
- divides Threads + ThreadsShared
- PerlCritic plugin: runs Perl::Critic on itself, using a bundled
snapshot or the installed CPAN version, both on the snapshot
code
- Bugfixes and maintenance
- forgotten tmpdir cleanups
- code cleanup for Perl::Critic
- try hiding bundled code from PAUSE indexer
- Perl 5.8'ify by using "our"
- dropped useless exports
- new option --version
- in combination with -v prints all plugin versions
- Stabilize OS run environment (mostly Linux)
- disk sync
- flush caches
- disable Core Performance Boost
- disable Adress Space Layout Randomization
- These features will need "root" to have an effect
- Now every plugin is forked before running.
- No more all plugin loading at once; as that used to influence
the runtime of plugins depending on what else was loaded.
0.12 2010-07-13
- Adapt to changed DPath API v0.40
0.11 2010-07-10
- Imroved --outstyle=summary output
0.10 2010-07-09
- introduce output style option
--outstyle=summary
--outstyle=yaml
which now defaults to "summary" to ease interactive use.
0.09 2010-07-07
- new benchmark to stress MooseX::Declare method calls
- provide Devel::Platform::Info with cmdline option -p
- allow generic defines vie -Dkey=value
- usually to configure plugins
- refactored use of env variables, now all set via cmdline
options:
--fastmode
--usethreads
-DThreads_threadcount=64
- now requires Perl 5.8
0.08 2010-05-11
- new benchmark around running Perl6 STD.pm / gimme5 / viv
- new benchmark using DPath to stress lookup, traversing and
copying data structures
- scaled down too aggressive Shootdown benchmarks:
- knucleotide
- binarytrees
- nbody
0.07 2010-04-16
- Bummer! ::Cargo is required.
0.06 2010-04-14
- Bummer! "More robustness" in 0.05 must have sounded like an
euphemism for "now crashing reliably". Fix tests by using the
Data::YAML::Reader which is the sister of the YAML generating
module Data::YAML::Writer. Other YAML modules occasionally break.
0.05 2010-04-12
- search executables like sa-learn or prove only besides $^X
- more yaml robustness tries as they all crash in a different
way on strange platforms; do some some eval-style try/catch
en passant...
0.04 2010-04-12
- sub-plugins (like Shootout/*.pm) now get same place in result
hash regardless of beeing started as part of bundle, i.e via
--plugins=Shootout or directly via --plugins=Shootout::foo. This
makes evaluation easier.
- most dependencies now only "recommends" but take care cou
install them anyway, eg. via PERL_AUTOINSTALL=--defaultdeps
- output overall runtime
- distro maintenance: meta info, test cleanup, verbose debug
printing
0.03 2010-04-03
- doc fixes
- add re::engine::Plan9 to benchmark of regex engines
0.02 2010-04-01
- YAML improvements for easier embedding into TAP
- verbose text now looks like TAP # diagnostics
- new commandline --tapdescription="some description" to generate
a leading "ok some description" line before the YAML
- took out some benchmarks from default plugin list that
occasionally segfaulted
0.01 2008-08-12
- Initial version
