Compare benchmarks before and after and create a new baseline for it in ./benchmarks/baselines. For the PGO, create a similar framework as the benchmarking. You can code the PGO procedure as an option to the dtail-tools command. Use the benchmark files for the PGO as a reference. Once implemented and working, you can remove this item from the todo list here. diff --git a/benchmark_comparison_report.md b/benchmark_comparison_report.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..89ce05a --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmark_comparison_report.md @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +# Benchmark Comparison Report: v4.3.0 vs Turbo-Enabled + +## Summary + +This report compares the performance of DTail v4.3.0 (baseline) with the current version that has turbo boost mode enabled by default. + +## Performance Improvements + +### DCat Operations +- **10MB file**: + - v4.3.0: 9.363 MB/sec + - Turbo: 246.8 MB/sec + - **Improvement: 2,535% (26.3x faster)** + +### DGrep Operations (10MB file) +- **1% hit rate**: + - v4.3.0: 25.38 MB/sec + - Turbo: 363.9 MB/sec + - **Improvement: 1,334% (14.3x faster)** + +- **10% hit rate**: + - v4.3.0: 22.81 MB/sec + - Turbo: 342.6 MB/sec + - **Improvement: 1,402% (15.0x faster)** + +- **50% hit rate**: + - v4.3.0: 16.14 MB/sec + - Turbo: 265.1 MB/sec + - **Improvement: 1,543% (16.4x faster)** + +- **90% hit rate**: + - v4.3.0: 10.99 MB/sec + - Turbo: 210.0 MB/sec + - **Improvement: 1,811% (19.1x faster)** + +### DMap Operations (10MB file) +- **Count query**: + - v4.3.0: 17.09 MB/sec + - Turbo: 21.77 MB/sec + - **Improvement: 27.4%** + +- **Sum/Avg query**: + - v4.3.0: 13.54 MB/sec + - Turbo: 21.05 MB/sec + - **Improvement: 55.5%** + +- **Min/Max query**: + - v4.3.0: 17.46 MB/sec + - Turbo: 21.80 MB/sec + - **Improvement: 24.9%** + +- **Multi-field query**: + - v4.3.0: 21.85 MB/sec + - Turbo: 21.32 MB/sec + - **Slight decrease: -2.4%** (within margin of error) + +## Key Findings + +1. **Massive improvements in DCat and DGrep**: The turbo boost mode shows extraordinary performance gains for file reading (DCat) and searching (DGrep) operations, with improvements ranging from 14x to 26x faster. + +2. **Moderate improvements in DMap**: MapReduce operations show more modest but still significant improvements of 25-55% for most query types. + +3. **Consistent performance across hit rates**: DGrep performance improvements scale well across different hit rates, with even better improvements at higher hit rates. + +## Technical Details + +The turbo boost mode achieves these improvements through: +- Direct writing bypassing channels for cat/grep/tail operations +- Direct line processing without channels for MapReduce in server mode +- Batch processing to reduce lock contention +- Memory pooling to reduce garbage collection pressure + +## Recommendation + +The turbo boost mode delivers exceptional performance improvements and should remain enabled by default.
