@system I would like to add a few micro benchmarks, which lead me to thinking about organisation of benchmarks.
I feel we need a single place for all our benchmarks that accepts PRs for improving on them, you can then add/backfill and improve benchmarks. If the results are keyed on SHA1 of the benchmark file it becomes trivial to invalidate old benchmarks.
How should we organise all this stuff? How is it organised now?
I’m currently modifying driver.rb to POST the results. The good thing about doing this is that as Ruby add more benchmarks, we’ll be running them for long running benchmarks without me having to know that new benchmarks have been added. The downside is that releases benchmarks will not be aware unless I rebuild the docker containers.
I think it is critical of rubybench to own all the benchmarks, it allows us to control the evolution and update schedule. Not saying start from scratch, just have a repo we own that we selectively merge into as needed.
I’ll include benchmark ips in all the scripts. My main motivation is for benchmark ips to solve spikes in our results. I’ll try to wipe up a quite PR for this so that it’ll be easier for discussion.
