Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This is a fully automated benchmark suite for comparing the performance of any PHP releases or branches. The framework is heavily inspired by Intel's work from quite a few years ago: [https://01.org/node/3774](https://web.archive.org/web/20210614053522/https://01.org/node/3774).

Results
-------

[](#results)

You can find the [benchmark results here](https://github.com/kocsismate/php-version-benchmarks/tree/main/docs/results).

Install
-------

[](#install)

You can simply download or clone this repository. You can also install it via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) by running the command below:

```
$ composer require kocsismate/php-version-benchmarks:dev-main
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

All the configuration of the benchmark is done via `.ini` files in the `config` directory. By default, a few templates are bundled with the benchmark (having `.ini.dist` extension in their names). Feel free to rename them by removing the `.dist` suffix in order to take advantage of them.

### Usage on AWS EC2

[](#usage-on-aws-ec2)

As a prerequisite, you need the following:

- a UNIX system (Linux, Mac)
- git
- [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io)

Then you have to create the necessary AWS-related config file by copying the `aws.tfvars.dist` to `aws.tfvars` in the `build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars.dist` directory:

```
cp build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars.dist build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars
```

Then, you need to override some values in it:

- `access_key`: the access key of your AWS account
- `secret_key`: the secret access key of your AWS account
- `region`: it is "eu-central-1" by default, but you should choose the closest one to your area
- `state_bucket`: The S3 bucket name where the state file is stored

Now, you are ready to go:

```
./benchmark.sh run aws
```
