Benchmarks
==========

[](#benchmarks)

A framework for benchmarking simple functionality

[![codecov](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/f94bd92a60653816ad35fef485c041847715227756fb4495c350b26665e6fade/68747470733a2f2f636f6465636f762e696f2f6769746875622f6d7473372f42656e63686d61726b732f67726170682f62616467652e7376673f746f6b656e3d4c59494f5143384e4b5a)](https://codecov.io/github/mts7/Benchmarks)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev mts7/Benchmarks --prefer-dist
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Benchmarks includes a [container](https://github.com/mts7/php-dependency-injection) for dependency injection, which makes setting up the benchmark quicker and easier.

```
$container = \MtsBenchmarks\Factory\ContainerFactory::create();
```

### Single Method Call

[](#single-method-call)

The `run` method accepts an array of callables and will execute each callable for the number of iterations per sample for the number of samples and provides the callable with a parameter of the current iteration. All the necessary steps to benchmark are included in the correct order by using the `run` method.

After calling `run`, any report class can accept the results and process them.

```
$samples = 5;
$iterations = 100;
$title = 'callable name';

$benchmark = $container->get(\MtsBenchmarks\Benchmark::class,
    [
        $container->get(\MtsBenchmarks\Helper\IncrementIntegerIterator::class, [$samples]),
        $container->get(\MtsBenchmarks\Helper\IncrementIntegerIterator::class, [$iterations]),
    ]
);

$results = $benchmark->run(['callable']);

$report = $container->get(\MtsBenchmarks\Report\ConsoleReport::class);

echo $report->generate($samples, $iterations, $title, $results);
```

### Multiple Method Calls

[](#multiple-method-calls)

In this form, the framework provides the time calculation results of each callable rather than the raw data. Output formatting is handled by a report object.

```
$samples = 5;
$iterations = 100;
$title = 'callable name';

$benchmark = $container->get(\MtsBenchmarks\Benchmark::class,
    [
        $container->get(\MtsBenchmarks\Helper\IncrementIntegerIterator::class, [$samples]),
        $container->get(\MtsBenchmarks\Helper\IncrementIntegerIterator::class, [$iterations]),
    ]
);
$report = $container->get(\MtsBenchmarks\Report\ConsoleReport::class);

$output = $report->buildTitle($samples, $iterations, $title);
$output .= $report->buildHeaders($title);
$results = $benchmark->run(['callable']);
$output .= $report->buildResults($results);

echo $output;
```

When there is only one callable to check or a desire or preference to test each callable independently (without the framework), `buildSamples` will work. This is the internal method that calls the callable and sets up timing.

```
// raw durations from executing the callable $iterations times per sample
$durations = $benchmark->buildSamples('callable');
```

Comparisons
-----------

[](#comparisons)

The framework does show the users which subjects under test perform quicker than others and by how much, meaning this is a useful tool for comparison rather than for timing.

While the framework handles the timing and execution of the subjects under test, it does not handle the creation or organization of the subjects under test. Since each system is different, there are no constant times for any of the benchmarks across systems.

On a MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, some benchmarks were 2.5 times longer than running with a smaller version of this framework. The base benchmark times on the same system took 2 times longer to execute than on [PHP Sandbox](https://onlinephp.io).

Future Enhancements
-------------------

[](#future-enhancements)

- increase speed/performance
- add additional report options (like HTML, XML)
- add timing and memory usage in ConsoleReport output
- allow benchmark functions to have any number of parameters rather than requiring an int

Included Benchmarks
-------------------

[](#included-benchmarks)

Note these are not included in the distribution package and are only available in the source.

```
composer require --dev mts7/Benchmarks --prefer-source
```

- [Array Iterator](benchmarks/array-iterator.php)
- [Array Merge](benchmarks/array-merge.php)
- [Array Unique](benchmarks/array-unique.php)
    - This uses the `DS` PECL extension to test `Set`
- [Empty Array](benchmarks/empty-array.php)
- [Is Even](benchmarks/is-even.php)

All of these benchmarks are ready to execute by running `php benchmarks/{file-name}.php`.
