- be open source, or at least source-available, so other
people can reproduce the results
- be *reasonably* self-contained, so that I don't have to
spend three hours setting up build dependencies
- be written mostly in D, I don't want to benchmark GCC
- work with DMD 2.061 or DMD 2.062
- run on Linux or OS X
You could also use pfft, then. This branch is the most up to date:
https://github.com/jerro/pfft/tree/use-gcc-udas
If you run:
./build
./build --tests
It will generate files test/test_float, test/test_double and
test/test_real. You can choose compiler with --dc DMD|GDC|LDC.
You can use -s flag on test/test_* executables to do a benchmark.
Test executables and build.d have --help option.
To make the comparison fair, it would probably be good to use
--simd sse flag when building tests, because otherwise GDC and
LDC versions will use AVX if run on a machine that supports it
and DMD won't.
I also have test/benchmarks.d script that runs benchmarks and
outputs charts, but I made no attempt to make it user friendly
and you would need to read and modify its (a bit messy) code to
use it - the only option it takes is the location of output
files. It depends on Plot2kill.
