Goal: define a set of JMH benchmarks for the compiler to help drive performance tuning and catch performance regressions.
Based on:
- OpenJDK JMH, the definitive Java benchmarking tool.
- via sbt-jmh.
| Project | Benchmark of |
|---|---|
| compilation | The equivalent of scalac ... |
| micro | Finer grained parts of the compiler |
| jvm | Pure Java benchmarks to demonstrate JVM quirks |
| infrastructure | Code to persist benchmark results and metadata |
sbt> compilation/jmh:run -help
- (optional) add new Scala sources (say
aardvark) to a new directory in src/main/corpus
compilation/jmh:run (Cold|Warm|Hot)CompilationBenchmark
-p source=(<subdir of corpus>|/path/to/src/dir|@/path/to/argsfile)
-p extraArgs=-nowarn
# Note: `extraArgs` accepts multiple `|`-separated compiler arguments
Avoid the tedium of typing all that out with:
sbt> hot -psource=scalap
sbt> cold -psource=better-files
sbt> set scalaVersion in ThisBuild := "2.12.0-ab61fed-SNAPSHOT"
sbt> set scalaHome in ThisBuild := Some(file("/code/scala/build/pack"))
sbt> set scalaHome in compilation := "2.11.1" // if micro project isn't compatible with "2.11.1"
- Provide
INFLUX_PASSWORDas an environment variable - Replace
jmh/runwithjmh:runMain scala.bench.UploadingRunner
Results will be uploading into an InfluxDB instance at https://scala-ci.typesafe.com/influx/. An quick introduction to InfluxDB is here.
These results will be plotted in our Grafana dashboard
The https://github.com/scala/compiler-benchq project triggers benchmarks for merges and sets of commits that we're backtesting (UI on https://scala-ci.typesafe.com/benchq).

Place this output into a file. The full path to that file can be passed to the -source= option to run the benchmark
on that project: -psource=@/path/to/args/file
