NAME

Parallel::Benchmark - parallel benchmark module

SYNOPSIS

use Parallel::Benchmark;
sub fib {
    my $n = shift;
    return $n if $n == 0 or $n == 1;
    return fib( $n - 1 ) + fib( $n - 2 );
}
my $bm = Parallel::Benchmark->new(
    benchmark => sub {
        my ($self, $id) = @_;
        fib(10);  # code for benchmarking
        return 1; # score
    },
    concurrency => 3,
);
my $result = $bm->run;
# output to STDERR
#  2012-02-18T21:18:17 [INFO] starting benchmark: concurrency: 3, time: 3
#  2012-02-18T21:18:21 [INFO] done benchmark: score 42018, elapsed 3.000 sec = 14005.655 / sec

DESCRIPTION

Parallel::Benchmark is parallel benchmark module.

METHODS

• new(%args)

create Parallel::Benchmark instance.

%args:
  benchmark:   CodeRef to benchmark.
  setup:       CodeRef run on child process before benchmark.
  teardown:    CodeRef run on child process after benchmark.
  time:        Int     benchmark running time. default=3
  concurrency: Int     num of child processes. default=1
  debug:       Bool    output debug log.       default=0

• run()

run benchmark. returns result hashref.

{
  'stashes' => {
    '1' => { },   # $self->stash of child id==1
    '2' => { },
    ...
  },
  'score'   => 1886,        # sum of score
  'elapsed' => '3.0022655', # elapsed time (sec)
};

• stash

HashRef to store some data while processing.

Child process's stash returns to result on parent process.

$result = $bm->run;
$result->{stashes}->{$id}; #= $self->stash on child $id

EXAMPLES

HTTP GET Benchmark

use LWP::UserAgent;
my $bm = Parallel::Benchmark->new(
    setup => sub {
        my ($self, $id) = @_;
        $self->stash->{ua} = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    },
    benchmark => sub {
        my ($self, $id) = @_;
        my $res = $self->stash->{ua}->get("http://127.0.0.1/");
        $self->stash->{code}->{ $res->code }++;
        return 1;
    },
    teardown => sub {
        my ($self, $id) = @_;
        delete $self->stash->{ua};
    },
    concurrency => 2,
);
my $result = $bm->run();
# {
    'stashes' => {
      '1' => {
        'code' => {
          '200' => 932,
          '500' => 7
        }
      },
      '2' => {
        'code' => {
          '200' => 935,
          '500' => 12
        }
      }
    },
    'score' => 1886,
    'elapsed' => '3.0022655'
  }
