A small utility for comparing micro-benchmarks produced by cargo bench
. The
utility takes as input two sets of micro-benchmarks (one "old" and the other
"new") and shows as output a comparison between each benchmark.
Dual-licensed under MIT or the UNLICENSE.
cargo benchcmp
can be installed with cargo install
:
$ cargo install cargo-benchcmp
The resulting binary should then be in $HOME/.cargo/bin
.
This tool only supports the standard benchmark output emitted by cargo bench
.
For Criterion support, a different tool was developed called
critcmp.
First, run your benchmarks and save them to a file:
$ cargo bench > control
Next, apply the changes you'd like to test out, and then run the benchmarks and save them to a file again.
$ cargo bench > variable
Finally, use cargo benchcmp
to compare the benchmark results!
$ cargo benchcmp control variable

If you want to compare the same benchmark run in multiple ways, reuse the names in different modules. Then your benchmark output will look like:
module1::ac_two_one_prefix_byte_random ...
module2::ac_two_one_prefix_byte_random ...
You can then instruct benchcmp to compare the two modules by providing the two prefixes, followed by the file containing the output:
$ cargo benchcmp module1:: module2:: benchmark-output
name dense_boxed:: ns/iter dense:: ns/iter diff ns/iter diff % speedup

The tool supports basic filtering. For example, it's easy to see only improvements:
$ cargo benchcmp old new --improvements
name full:: ns/iter full_overlap:: ns/iter diff ns/iter diff % speedup
ac_one_byte 367 (27247 MB/s) 367 (27247 MB/s) 0 0.00% x 1.00
ac_two_one_prefix_byte_no_match 371 (26954 MB/s) 368 (27173 MB/s) -3 -0.81% x 1.01
ac_two_one_prefix_byte_random 11,530 (867 MB/s) 11,514 (868 MB/s) -16 -0.14% x 1.00
Or only see regressions:
$ cargo benchcmp old new --regressions
name full:: ns/iter full_overlap:: ns/iter diff ns/iter diff % speedup
ac_one_prefix_byte_every_match 27,425 (364 MB/s) 27,972 (357 MB/s) 547 1.99% x 0.98
ac_one_prefix_byte_no_match 367 (27247 MB/s) 373 (26809 MB/s) 6 1.63% x 0.98
ac_one_prefix_byte_random 11,076 (902 MB/s) 11,243 (889 MB/s) 167 1.51% x 0.99
ac_ten_bytes 25,474 (392 MB/s) 25,754 (388 MB/s) 280 1.10% x 0.99
ac_ten_diff_prefix 25,466 (392 MB/s) 25,800 (387 MB/s) 334 1.31% x 0.99
ac_ten_one_prefix_byte_every_match 27,424 (364 MB/s) 28,046 (356 MB/s) 622 2.27% x 0.98
ac_ten_one_prefix_byte_no_match 367 (27247 MB/s) 369 (27100 MB/s) 2 0.54% x 0.99
ac_ten_one_prefix_byte_random 13,661 (732 MB/s) 13,742 (727 MB/s) 81 0.59% x 0.99
ac_two_bytes 3,141 (3183 MB/s) 3,164 (3160 MB/s) 23 0.73% x 0.99
ac_two_diff_prefix 3,141 (3183 MB/s) 3,174 (3150 MB/s) 33 1.05% x 0.99
ac_two_one_prefix_byte_every_match 27,638 (361 MB/s) 27,953 (357 MB/s) 315 1.14% x 0.99
Many times, the difference in micro-benchmarks is just noise, so you can filter by percent difference:
$ cargo benchcmp old new --regressions --threshold 2
name full:: ns/iter full_overlap:: ns/iter diff ns/iter diff % speedup
ac_ten_one_prefix_byte_every_match 27,424 (364 MB/s) 28,046 (356 MB/s) 622 2.27% x 0.98
