Roman Lebedev	5e66248b44	[Tools] A new, more versatile benchmark output compare tool (#474) ... * [Tools] A new, more versatile benchmark output compare tool Sometimes, there is more than one implementation of some functionality. And the obvious use-case is to benchmark them, which is better? Currently, there is no easy way to compare the benchmarking results in that case: The obvious solution is to have multiple binaries, each one containing/running one implementation. And each binary must use exactly the same benchmark family name, which is super bad, because now the binary name should contain all the info about benchmark family... What if i tell you that is not the solution? What if we could avoid producing one binary per benchmark family, with the same family name used in each binary, but instead could keep all the related families in one binary, with their proper names, AND still be able to compare them? There are three modes of operation: 1. Just compare two benchmarks, what `compare_bench.py` did: ``` $ ../tools/compare.py benchmarks ./a.out ./a.out RUNNING: ./a.out --benchmark_out=/tmp/tmprBT5nW Run on (8 X 4000 MHz CPU s) 2017-11-07 21:16:44 ------------------------------------------------------ Benchmark Time CPU Iterations ------------------------------------------------------ BM_memcpy/8 36 ns 36 ns 19101577 211.669MB/s BM_memcpy/64 76 ns 76 ns 9412571 800.199MB/s BM_memcpy/512 84 ns 84 ns 8249070 5.64771GB/s BM_memcpy/1024 116 ns 116 ns 6181763 8.19505GB/s BM_memcpy/8192 643 ns 643 ns 1062855 11.8636GB/s BM_copy/8 222 ns 222 ns 3137987 34.3772MB/s BM_copy/64 1608 ns 1608 ns 432758 37.9501MB/s BM_copy/512 12589 ns 12589 ns 54806 38.7867MB/s BM_copy/1024 25169 ns 25169 ns 27713 38.8003MB/s BM_copy/8192 201165 ns 201112 ns 3486 38.8466MB/s RUNNING: ./a.out --benchmark_out=/tmp/tmpt1wwG_ Run on (8 X 4000 MHz CPU s) 2017-11-07 21:16:53 ------------------------------------------------------ Benchmark Time CPU Iterations ------------------------------------------------------ BM_memcpy/8 36 ns 36 ns 19397903 211.255MB/s BM_memcpy/64 73 ns 73 ns 9691174 839.635MB/s BM_memcpy/512 85 ns 85 ns 8312329 5.60101GB/s BM_memcpy/1024 118 ns 118 ns 6438774 8.11608GB/s BM_memcpy/8192 656 ns 656 ns 1068644 11.6277GB/s BM_copy/8 223 ns 223 ns 3146977 34.2338MB/s BM_copy/64 1611 ns 1611 ns 435340 37.8751MB/s BM_copy/512 12622 ns 12622 ns 54818 38.6844MB/s BM_copy/1024 25257 ns 25239 ns 27779 38.6927MB/s BM_copy/8192 205013 ns 205010 ns 3479 38.108MB/s Comparing ./a.out to ./a.out Benchmark Time CPU Time Old Time New CPU Old CPU New ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BM_memcpy/8 +0.0020 +0.0020 36 36 36 36 BM_memcpy/64 -0.0468 -0.0470 76 73 76 73 BM_memcpy/512 +0.0081 +0.0083 84 85 84 85 BM_memcpy/1024 +0.0098 +0.0097 116 118 116 118 BM_memcpy/8192 +0.0200 +0.0203 643 656 643 656 BM_copy/8 +0.0046 +0.0042 222 223 222 223 BM_copy/64 +0.0020 +0.0020 1608 1611 1608 1611 BM_copy/512 +0.0027 +0.0026 12589 12622 12589 12622 BM_copy/1024 +0.0035 +0.0028 25169 25257 25169 25239 BM_copy/8192 +0.0191 +0.0194 201165 205013 201112 205010 ``` 2.
