The benchmarks are run as part of `make check` for a minimum sanity
check. The actual results are being ignored. So only run them for one
iteration.
This makes the `bench_bitcoin` part take 2m00 instead of 5m20 here.
Which is still too long (imo), but this needs to be solved in the
`WalletLoading*` benchmarks which take that long per iteration.
|
|
Also uses fs::path quoting in bench printed strings and fixes a
misleading error message.

Warning: Replacing fs::system_complete calls with fs::absolute calls
in this commit may cause minor changes in behaviour because fs::absolute
no longer strips trailing slashes; however these changes are believed to
be safe.

Part of #20744, but this can be done now, and will simplify the diff.
|
|
Retrieve the command line arguments from boost and pass them to
`BasicTestingSetup` so that we gain extra flexibility of passing any
config options on the test command line, e.g.:
```
test_bitcoin -- -printtoconsole=1 -checkaddrman=5
```

Drops unneeded and adds missing includes
|
|
When it is not easily possible to stabilize benchmark machine and code
the argument -min_time can be used to specify a minimum duration
that a benchmark should take. E.g. choose -min_time=1000 if you
are willing to wait about 1 second for each benchmark result.
The default is now set to 10ms instead of 0, which should make runs on
fast machines more stable with negligible slowdown.

This replaces the current benchmarking framework with nanobench [1], an
MIT licensed single-header benchmarking library, of which I am the
autor. This has in my opinion several advantages, especially on Linux:
* fast: Running all benchmarks takes ~6 seconds instead of 4m13s on
an Intel i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz.
* accurate: I ran e.g. the benchmark for SipHash_32b 10 times and
calculate standard deviation / mean = coefficient of variation:
* 0.57% CV for old benchmarking framework
* 0.20% CV for nanobench
So the benchmark results with nanobench seem to vary less than with
the old framework.
* It automatically determines runtime based on clock precision, no need
to specify number of evaluations.
* measure instructions, cycles, branches, instructions per cycle,
branch misses (only Linux, when performance counters are available)
* output in markdown table format.
* Warn about unstable environment (frequency scaling, turbo, ...)
* For better profiling, it is possible to set the environment variable
NANOBENCH_ENDLESS to force endless running of a particular benchmark
without the need to recompile. This makes it to e.g. run "perf top"
and look at hotspots.
Here is an example copy & pasted from the terminal output:

* Adds support for asymptotes
This adds support to calculate asymptotic complexity of a benchmark.
This is similar to #17375, but currently only one asymptote is
supported, and I have added support in the benchmark `ComplexMemPool`
as an example.
Usage is e.g. like this:
```
./bench_bitcoin -filter=ComplexMemPool -asymptote=25,50,100,200,400,600,800
```
This runs the benchmark `ComplexMemPool` several times but with
different complexityN settings. The benchmark can extract that number
and use it accordingly. Here, it's used for `childTxs`. The output is
this:
| complexityN | ns/op | op/s | err% | ins/op | cyc/op | IPC | total | benchmark

| 0.0129823 | 114.4% | O(log n)
| 0.0815055 | 133.8% | O(1)
The best fitting curve is O(n^2), so the algorithm seems to scale
quadratic with `childTxs` in the range 25 to 800.

std::chrono removes portability issues.
Rather than storing doubles, store the untouched time_points. Then
convert to nanoseconds for display. This allows for maximum precision, while
keeping results comparable between differing hardware/operating systems.
Also, display full nanosecond counts rather than sub-second floats.
|
|
We were saving a div by caching the inverse as a float, but this
ended up requiring a int -> float -> int conversion, which takes
almost as much time as the difference between float mul and div.
There are lots of other more pressing issues with the bench
framework which probably require simply removing the adaptive
iteration count stuff anyway.

pointer literal instead of the macro NULL
90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
* an integer literal with value zero, or
* a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.
For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf
With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:
```
$ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
0
```
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)

db07f91 Assert that what might look like a possible division by zero is actually unreachable (practicalswift)
Tree-SHA512: f1652eb37196a5b72f356503a1fbb44fb98aa8a94954ad1765f86d81ebf41a2337d4eb58c4f19937fda3752f5d2d642756e44afdbd438015b87ac20801246bff

The initialization order of global data structures in different
implementation units is undefined. Making use of this is essentially
gambling on what the linker does, the so-called [Static initialization
order fiasco](https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/ctors#static-init-order).
In this case it apparently worked on Linux but failed on OpenBSD and
FreeBSD.
To create it on first use, make the registration structure local to
a function.
Fixes #8910.

This adds cycle min/max/avg to the statistics.
Supported on x86 and x86_64 (natively through rdtsc), as well as Linux
(perf syscall).
|
|
Make sure that the count is a zero modulo the new mask before
scaling, otherwise the next time until a measure triggers
will take only 1/2 as long as accounted for. This caused
the 'min time' to be potentially off by as much as 100%.
|
|
Previously the benchmark code used an integer division (%) with
a non-constant in the inner-loop. This is quite slow on many
processors, especially ones like ARM that lack a hardware divide.
Even on fairly recent x86_64 like haswell an integer division can
take something like 100 cycles-- making it comparable to the
runtime of siphash.
This change avoids the division by using bitmasking instead. This
was especially easy since the count was only increased by doubling.
This change also restarts the timing when the execution time was
very low this avoids mintimes of zero in cases where one execution
ends up below the timer resolution. It also reduces the impact of
the overhead on the final result.
The formatting of the prints is changed to not use scientific
notation make it more machine readable (in particular, gnuplot
croaks on the non-fixedpoint, and it doesn't sort correctly).
This also hoists out all the floating point divisions out of the
semi-hot path because it was easy to do so.
It might be prudent to break out the critical test into a macro
just to guarantee that it gets inlined. It might also make sense
to just save out the intermediate counts and times and get the
floating point completely out of the timing loop (because e.g.
on hardware without a fast hardware FPU like some ARM it will
still be slow enough to distort the results). I haven't done
either of these in this commit.

- ensure header namespaces and end comments are correct
- add missing header end comments
- ensure minimal formatting (add newlines etc.)
|
|
Avoid calling gettimeofday every time through the benchmarking loop, by keeping
track of how long each loop takes and doubling the number of iterations done
between time checks when they take less than 1/16'th of the total elapsed time.

Benchmarking framework, loosely based on google's micro-benchmarking
library (https://github.com/google/benchmark)
Wny not use the Google Benchmark framework? Because adding Even More Dependencies
isn't worth it. If we get a dozen or three benchmarks and need nanosecond-accurate
timings of threaded code then switching to the full-blown Google Benchmark library
should be considered.
The benchmark framework is hard-coded to run each benchmark for one wall-clock second,
and then spits out .csv-format timing information to stdout. It is left as an
exercise for later (or maybe never) to add command-line arguments to specify which
benchmark(s) to run, how long to run them for, how to format results, etc etc etc.
Again, see the Google Benchmark framework for where that might end up.
See src/bench/MilliSleep.cpp for a sanity-test benchmark that just benchmarks
'sleep 100 milliseconds.'
To compile and run benchmarks:
cd src; make bench
Sample output:
Benchmark,count,min,max,average
Sleep100ms,10,0.101854,0.105059,0.103881
