Performance benchmarks

Some notable function in Pymech are benchmarked across different versions. The benchmarks are run using the tool airspeed velocity / asv.

Note

The results of the benchmark are available here

How to run benchmarks

• Either install pymech with [dev] extras or pip install asv pyperf virtualenv.

• Change to the directory docs/asv_bench

• Close all heavy applications (browsers, video players, chat clients etc.) and tune the system for reducing jitter during benchmarking:

  sudo python -m pyperf system tune
  

• Execute the benchmarks

  • on the current commit with the default Python:

    asv run
    

  • on the current commit with the PyPy installed using conda

    asv run --environment 'conda:*=*pypy'
    

  • on all git tags:

    ./asv_run_all_tags.sh
    ./asv_run_all_tags.sh --environment 'conda:*=*pypy'
