Miniterion
Summary
Miniterion is a lightweight Haskell cabal package containing utilities
for writing benchmark codes. The package has an API subset of
criterion
package, so switching to other benchmarking
packages (criterion
, gauge
, and
tasty-bench
) should be easily done.
As in criterion
, the executable built with the defaultMain
supports selecting the running benchmarks with prefix match,
case insensitive prefix match, substring match, or glob pattern match
via the command line option. Invoke the benchmark executable with --help
option to see other available options.
Motivation
The goal of the miniterion package is to have a reasonably useful and lightweight benchmarking utility with a small amount of maintenance effort. For robust and feature-rich benchmarking utility, use the other packages mentioned above.
The miniterion package is designed to have a small number of package
dependencies. At the time of writing, the dependency packages are only
two: base
and deepseq
. The miniterion package does not have rich
features, but compared to other benchmarking packages, the package and
benchmark executable should compile faster, and the resulting
benchmark executable should be smaller.
Example
The following shows a simple benchmark with a naive Fibonacci function.
In cabal configuration:
benchmark fibo
default-language: Haskell2010
type: exitcode-stdio-1.0
hs-source-dirs: bench
main-is: Main.hs
build-depends: base
, miniterion
And in file bench/Main.hs
:
module Main where
import Miniterion
fib :: Integer -> Integer
fib m | m < 0 = error "negative!"
| otherwise = go m
where
go 0 = 0
go 1 = 1
go n = go (n-1) + go (n-2)
main :: IO ()
main = defaultMain [
bgroup "fib" [ bench "1" $ whnf fib 1
, bench "5" $ whnf fib 5
, bench "9" $ whnf fib 9
, bench "11" $ whnf fib 11
]
]
then compile and run the benchmark with cabal bench
:
$ cabal bench
Build profile: -w ghc-9.6.2 -O1
In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):
- miniterion-0.1.0.0 (bench:fibo) (first run)
