Matt Valentine-House 8e7df4b7c6 Rename size_pool -> heap
Now that we've inlined the eden_heap into the size_pool, we should
rename the size_pool to heap. So that Ruby contains multiple heaps, with
different sized objects.

The term heap as a collection of memory pages is more in memory
management nomenclature, whereas size_pool was a name chosen out of
necessity during the development of the Variable Width Allocation
features of Ruby.

The concept of size pools was introduced in order to facilitate
different sized objects (other than the default 40 bytes). They wrapped
the eden heap and the tomb heap, and some related state, and provided a
reasonably simple way of duplicating all related concerns, to provide
multiple pools that all shared the same structure but held different
objects.

Since then various changes have happend in Ruby's memory layout:

* The concept of tomb heaps has been replaced by a global free pages list,
  with each page having it's slot size reconfigured at the point when it
  is resurrected
* the eden heap has been inlined into the size pool itself, so that now
  the size pool directly controls the free_pages list, the sweeping
  page, the compaction cursor and the other state that was previously
  being managed by the eden heap.

Now that there is no need for a heap wrapper, we should refer to the
collection of pages containing Ruby objects as a heap again rather than
a size pool

ruby/benchmark

This directory has benchmark definitions to be run with benchmark_driver.gem.

Normal usage

Execute gem install benchmark_driver and run a command like:

# Run a benchmark script with the ruby in the $PATH
benchmark-driver benchmark/app_fib.rb

# Run benchmark scripts with multiple Ruby executables or options
benchmark-driver benchmark/*.rb -e /path/to/ruby -e '/path/to/ruby --jit'

# Or compare Ruby versions managed by rbenv
benchmark-driver benchmark/*.rb --rbenv '2.5.1;2.6.0-preview2 --jit'

# You can collect many metrics in many ways
benchmark-driver benchmark/*.rb --runner memory --output markdown

# Some are defined with YAML for complex setup or accurate measurement
benchmark-driver benchmark/*.yml

See also:

Usage: benchmark-driver [options] RUBY|YAML...
    -r, --runner TYPE                Specify runner type: ips, time, memory, once, block (default: ips)
    -o, --output TYPE                Specify output type: compare, simple, markdown, record, all (default: compare)
    -e, --executables EXECS          Ruby executables (e1::path1 arg1; e2::path2 arg2;...)
        --rbenv VERSIONS             Ruby executables in rbenv (x.x.x arg1;y.y.y arg2;...)
        --repeat-count NUM           Try benchmark NUM times and use the fastest result or the worst memory usage
        --repeat-result TYPE         Yield "best", "average" or "worst" result with --repeat-count (default: best)
        --alternate                  Alternate executables instead of running the same executable in a row with --repeat-count
        --bundler                    Install and use gems specified in Gemfile
        --filter REGEXP              Filter out benchmarks with given regexp
        --run-duration SECONDS       Warmup estimates loop_count to run for this duration (default: 3)
        --timeout SECONDS            Timeout ruby command execution with timeout(1)
    -v, --verbose                    Verbose mode. Multiple -v options increase visilibity (max: 2)

make benchmark

Using make benchmark, make update-benchmark-driver automatically downloads the supported version of benchmark_driver, and it runs benchmarks with the downloaded benchmark_driver.

# Run all benchmarks with the ruby in the $PATH and the built ruby
make benchmark

# Or compare with specific ruby binary
make benchmark COMPARE_RUBY="/path/to/ruby --jit"

# Run vm benchmarks
make benchmark ITEM=vm

# Run some limited benchmarks in ITEM-matched files
make benchmark ITEM=vm OPTS=--filter=block

# You can specify the benchmark by an exact filename instead of using the default argument:
# ARGS = $$(find $(srcdir)/benchmark -maxdepth 1 -name '*$(ITEM)*.yml' -o -name '*$(ITEM)*.rb')
make benchmark ARGS=benchmark/erb_render.yml

# You can specify any option via $OPTS
make benchmark OPTS="--help"

# With `make benchmark`, some special runner plugins are available:
#   -r peak, -r size, -r total, -r utime, -r stime, -r cutime, -r cstime
make benchmark ITEM=vm_bigarray OPTS="-r peak"
