Jusufadis Bakamovic 56fd56dc02 Refactor U-Test calculation into separate function. (#740)
* Refactor U-Test calculation into separate function.

And implement 'print_utest' functionality in terms of it.

[Tooling] Rewrite generate_difference_report(). (#678)
My knowledge of python is not great, so this is kinda horrible.

Two things:
1. If there were repetitions, for the RHS (i.e. the new value) we were always using the first repetition,
    which naturally results in incorrect change reports for the second and following repetitions.
    And what is even worse, that completely broke U test. :(
2. A better support for different repetition count for U test was missing.
    It's important if we are to be able to report 'iteration as repetition',
    since it is rather likely that the iteration count will mismatch.

Now, the rough idea on how this is implemented now. I think this is the right solution.
1. Get all benchmark names (in order) from the lhs benchmark.
2. While preserving the order, keep the unique names
3. Get all benchmark names (in order) from the rhs benchmark.
4. While preserving the order, keep the unique names
5. Intersect `2.` and `4.`, get the list of unique benchmark names that exist on both sides.
6. Now, we want to group (partition) all the benchmarks with the same name.
   ```
   BM_FOO:
       [lhs]: BM_FOO/repetition0 BM_FOO/repetition1
       [rhs]: BM_FOO/repetition0 BM_FOO/repetition1 BM_FOO/repetition2
   ...
   ```
   We also drop mismatches in `time_unit` here.
   _(whose bright idea was it to store arbitrarily scaled timers in json **?!** )_
7. Iterate for each partition
7.1. Conditionally, diff the overlapping repetitions (the count of repetitions may be different.)
7.2. Conditionally, do the U test:
7.2.1. Get **all** the values of `"real_time"` field from the lhs benchmark
7.2.2. Get **all** the values of `"cpu_time"` field from the lhs benchmark
7.2.3. Get **all** the values of `"real_time"` field from the rhs benchmark
7.2.4. Get **all** the values of `"cpu_time"` field from the rhs benchmark
          NOTE: the repetition count may be different, but we want *all* the values!
7.2.5. Do the rest of the u test stuff
7.2.6. Print u test
8. ???
9. **PROFIT**!

Fixes #677

[Tooling] 'display aggregates only' support. (#674)
Works as you'd expect, both for the benchmark binaries, and
the jsons (naturally, since the tests need to work):

Roman Lebedev 7d03f2df49 [Tooling] Enable U Test by default, add tooltip about repetition count. (#617)

Roman Lebedev a6a1b0d765 Benchmarking is hard. Making sense of the benchmarking results is even harder. (#593)
The first problem you have to solve yourself. The second one can be aided.
The benchmark library can compute some statistics over the repetitions,
which helps with grasping the results somewhat.

But that is only for the one set of results. It does not really help to compare
the two benchmark results, which is the interesting bit. Thankfully, there are
these bundled `tools/compare.py` and `tools/compare_bench.py` scripts.

They can provide a diff between two benchmarking results. Yay!
Except not really, it's just a diff, while it is very informative and better than
nothing, it does not really help answer The Question - am i just looking at the noise?
It's like not having these per-benchmark statistics...

Roughly, we can formulate the question as:
> Are these two benchmarks the same?
> Did my change actually change anything, or is the difference below the noise level?

Well, this really sounds like a [null hypothesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis), does it not?
So maybe we can use statistics here, and solve all our problems?
lol, no, it won't solve all the problems. But maybe it will act as a tool,
to better understand the output, just like the usual statistics on the repetitions...

I'm making an assumption here that most of the people care about the change
of average value, not the standard deviation. Thus i believe we can use T-Test,
be it either [Student's t-test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t-test), or [Welch's t-test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welch%27s_t-test).
**EDIT**: however, after @dominichamon review, it was decided that it is better
to use more robust [Mann–Whitney U test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann–Whitney_U_test)
I'm using [scipy.stats.mannwhitneyu](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.mannwhitneyu.html#scipy.stats.mannwhitneyu).

There are two new user-facing knobs:
```
$ ./compare.py --help
usage: compare.py [-h] [-u] [--alpha UTEST_ALPHA]
                  {benchmarks,filters,benchmarksfiltered} ...

versatile benchmark output compare tool
<...>
optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -u, --utest           Do a two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test with the null
                        hypothesis that it is equally likely that a randomly
                        selected value from one sample will be less than or
                        greater than a randomly selected value from a second
                        sample. WARNING: requires **LARGE** (9 or more)
                        number of repetitions to be meaningful!
  --alpha UTEST_ALPHA   significance level alpha. if the calculated p-value is
                        below this value, then the result is said to be
                        statistically significant and the null hypothesis is
                        rejected. (default: 0.0500)
```

Example output:
![screenshot_20180512_175517](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/88600/39958581-ae897924-560d-11e8-81b9-806db6c3e691.png)
As you can guess, the alpha does affect anything but the coloring of the computed p-values.
If it is green, then the change in the average values is statistically-significant.

I'm detecting the repetitions by matching name. This way, no changes to the json are _needed_.
Caveats:
* This won't work if the json is not in the same order as outputted by the benchmark,
   or if the parsing does not retain the ordering.
* This won't work if after the grouped repetitions there isn't at least one row with
  different name (e.g. statistic). Since there isn't a knob to disable printing of statistics
  (only the other way around), i'm not too worried about this.
* **The results will be wrong if the repetition count is different between the two benchmarks being compared.**
* Even though i have added (hopefully full) test coverage, the code of these python tools is staring
  to look a bit jumbled.
* So far i have added this only to the `tools/compare.py`.
  Should i add it to `tools/compare_bench.py` too?
  Or should we deduplicate them (by removing the latter one)?

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:
```

```

So the first ("Time") column is exactly where it was, but with
two more decimal digits. The position of the '.' in the second
("CPU") column is shifted right by those two positions, and the
rest is unmodified, but simply shifted right by those 4 positions.

As for the reasoning, i guess it is more or less the same as
with #426. In some sad times, microbenchmarking is not applicable.
In those cases, the more precise the change report is, the better.

The current formatting prints not so much the percentages,
but the fraction i'd say. It is more useful for huge changes,
much more than 100%. That is not always the case, especially
if it is not a microbenchmark. Then, even though the change
may be good/bad, the change is small (<0.5% or so),
rounding happens, and it is no longer possible to tell.

I do acknowledge that this change does not fix that problem. Of
course, confidence intervals and such would be better, and they
would probably fix the problem. But i think this is good as-is
too, because now the you see 2 fractional percentage digits!1

The obvious downside is that the output is now even wider.

Roman Lebedev d474450b89 Tooling: generate_difference_report(): show old/new for both values (#427)
While the percentages are displayed for both of the columns,
the old/new values are only displayed for the second column,
for the CPU time. And the column is not even spelled out.

In cases where b->UseRealTime(); is used, this is at the
very least highly confusing. So why don't we just
display both the old/new for both the columns?

Fixes #425

Roman Lebedev b9be142d1e Json reporter: don't cast floating-point to int; adjust tooling (#426)
* Json reporter: passthrough fp, don't cast it to int; adjust tooling

Json output format is generally meant for further processing
using some automated tools. Thus, it makes sense not to
intentionally limit the precision of the values contained
in the report.

As it can be seen, FormatKV() for doubles, used %.2f format,
which was meant to preserve at least some of the precision.
However, before that function is ever called, the doubles
were already cast to the integer via RoundDouble()...

This is also the case for console reporter, where it makes
sense because the screen space is limited, and this reporter,
however the CSV reporter does output some( decimal digits.

Thus i can only conclude that the loss of the precision
was not really considered, so i have decided to adjust the
code of the json reporter to output the full fp precision.

There can be several reasons why that is the right thing
to do, the bigger the time_unit used, the greater the
precision loss, so i'd say any sort of further processing
(like e.g. tools/compare_bench.py does) is best done
on the values with most precision.

Also, that cast skewed the data away from zero, which
i think may or may not result in false- positives/negatives
in the output of tools/compare_bench.py

* Json reporter: FormatKV(double): address review note

* tools/gbench/report.py: skip benchmarks with different time units

While it may be useful to teach it to operate on the
measurements with different time units, which is now
possible since floats are stored, and not the integers,
but for now at least doing such a sanity-checking
is better than providing misinformation.

This prevents errors when additional non-timing data are present in
the JSON that is loaded, for example when complexity data has been
computed (see #379).

Eric Fiselier a8aa40c596 Fix obvious typo in string formatting 2016-11-19 05:17:52 -07:00
Eric Fiselier 2373382284 Rewrite compare_bench.py argument parsing.
This patch cleans up a number of issues with how compare_bench.py handled
the command line arguments.

* Use the 'argparse' python module instead of hand rolled parsing. This gives
  better usage messages.

* Add diagnostics for certain --benchmark flags that cannot or should not
  be used with compare_bench.py (eg --benchmark_out_format=csv).

* Don't override the user specified --benchmark_out flag if it's provided.

In future I would like the user to be able to capture both benchmark output
files, but this change is big enough for now.

This fixes issue #313.

Eric 5eac66249c Add a "compare_bench.py" tooling script. (#266)
This patch adds the compare_bench.py utility which can be used to compare the result of benchmarks.
The program is invoked like:

$ compare_bench.py <old-benchmark> <new-benchmark> [benchmark options]...
Where <old-benchmark> and <new-benchmark> either specify a benchmark executable file, or a JSON output file. The type of the input file is automatically detected. If a benchmark executable is specified then the benchmark is run to obtain the results. Otherwise the results are simply loaded from the output file.
