OptimizeMe Challenge
====================

[](#optimizeme-challenge)

Code optimization challenge for PHP developers.

PHP modified adaptation. Based on homework task for Golang educational project with Romanov Vasily “Technosphere Mail.ru Group” at Moscow State University. Lomonosov.

### Introduction

[](#introduction)

Task for working with the `xdebug` profiler.

There is a Search method that parses the file and displays the necessary data. It doesn't fast enough. It is necessary to optimize the code of this method.

Target
------

[](#target)

Learn to work with xdebug profiler, find hot spots in the code, be able to build a profile CPU and memory consumption, optimize the code taking this information into account.

Task
----

[](#task)

**Using xdebug profile** optimize the search method. The source code of the method is located in the file [src/Slow/Search.php](src/Slow/Search.php), the new implementation should be written in the file [src/Fast/Search.php](src/Fast/Search.php).

You can run the benchmark in the root of the project directory `php bench.php`

To complete the task, need to optimize each param:

- Count (number of starts in 1s): better then slow \* 3
- Memory (peak RAM consumption): better then slow / 3
- Best Time (fastest time for one pass): better then slow / 3

Install
-------

[](#install)

Run `composer create-project k-samuel/optimize-me`

Benchmark
---------

[](#benchmark)

Run `php bench.php`

Note: Memory consumption statistics accessible only for PHP >= 8.2

Expected results
----------------

[](#expected-results)

Try to get comparable (or better) results. Please note that performance is highly dependent on your hardware and results may vary.
