2013-06-09read-cache: add simple performance testLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+14
Add the helper test-read-cache, which can be used to call read_cache and discard_cache in a loop as well as a performance check based on it. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-03-09perf: update documentation of GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNTLibravatar Antoine Pelisse1-1/+1
Currently the documentation of GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT says the default is five while "perf-lib.sh" uses a value of three as a default. Update the documentation so that it is consistent with the code.

2012-10-01Merge branch 'ep/malloc-check-perturb'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Fixes a brown-paper bag bug. * ep/malloc-check-perturb: MALLOC_CHECK: enable it, unless disabled explicitly
2012-09-26MALLOC_CHECK: enable it, unless disabled explicitlyLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+1
The malloc checks in tests are currently disabled. Actually evaluate the variable for turning them off and enable them if it's unset. Also use this opportunity to give it the more descriptive and consistent name TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK.

2012-09-25Merge branch 'ep/malloc-check-perturb'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Run our test scripts with MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_, the built-in memory access checking facility GNU libc has. * ep/malloc-check-perturb: MALLOC_CHECK: various clean-ups Add MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_ libc env to the test suite for detecting heap corruption
2012-09-17MALLOC_CHECK: various clean-upsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
The most important in this change is to avoid affecting anything when test-lib is used from perf-lib. It also limits the effect of the MALLOC_CHECK only to what is run inside the actual test, and uses a fixed MALLOC_PERTURB_ in order to avoid hurting repeatability of the tests.

2012-08-04tests: Introduce test_seqLibravatar Michał Kiedrowicz1-1/+1
Jeff King wrote: The seq command is GNU-ism, and is missing at least in older BSD releases and their derivatives, not to mention antique commercial Unixes. We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not run by default. Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet (proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove Perl from the test suite. Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the future. There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running more processes of Perl.

2012-05-14Merge branch 'nd/threaded-index-pack'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+40
Enables threading in index-pack to resolve base data in parallel. By Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (3) and Ramsay Jones (1) * nd/threaded-index-pack: index-pack: disable threading if NO_PREAD is defined index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolving index-pack: restructure pack processing into three main functions compat/win32/pthread.h: Add an pthread_key_delete() implementation
2012-05-07index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolvingLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+40
This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base cache per thread. Per-thread data is grouped in struct thread_local. When running with nr_threads == 1, no pthreads calls are made. The system essentially runs in non-thread mode. An experiment on a Xeon 24 core machine with git.git shows that performance does not increase proportional to the number of cores. So by default, we use maximum 3 cores.

2012-03-08perf: export some important test-lib variablesLibravatar Thomas Rast2-1/+14
The only bug right now is that $GIT_TEST_CMP is needed for test_cmp to work. However, we also export the three most important paths for tests: TEST_DIRECTORY TRASH_DIRECTORY GIT_BUILD_DIR Since they are available within test_expect_success, a future test writer may expect them to also be defined in test_perf.

2012-03-06perf: compare diff algorithmsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+29
8c912ee (teach --histogram to diff, 2011-07-12) claimed histogram diff was faster than both Myers and patience. We have since incorporated a performance testing framework, so add a test that compares the various diff tasks performed in a real 'log -p' workload. This does indeed show that histogram diff slightly beats Myers, while patience is much slower than the others.

2012-02-17Add a performance test for git-grepLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+23
The only catch is that we don't really know what our repo contains, so we have to ignore any possible "not found" status from git-grep. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-02-17Introduce a performance testing frameworkLibravatar Thomas Rast9-0/+688
This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible, and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers. The following points were considered for the implementation: 1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against each other. They may not have the performance test under consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure. To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions if it doesn't have them at hand yet. 2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run; or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for real-world use. 3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos is out of the question. We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries to use the build tree's git.git repository. This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
