Latest minimart-benchmark results

External latency

Measures round-trip latency of back-to-back requests at varying numbers of simultaneously-open connections. The client chooses an open connection at random for each successive ping.

The server variants:

prospect+tcp: Uses prospect (incremental NC), demand-matchers, and the prospect TCP driver actor.
minimart+tcp: Uses minimart (monolithic NC), demand-matchers, and the minimart TCP driver actor.
minimart: Uses minimart (monolithic NC) with Racket CML-style events used for TCP directly at ground level.
racket: The obvious Racket echo server using Racket threads and Racket I/O.
uv: A trivial C echo server written using libuv.
erlang: A trivial echo server written using Erlang.

The server variants implemented in Racket collect server statistics periodically as they run.

Routing Events

Measures computation and dispatch time of routing events, plus processing time of routing events in leaf actors.

minimart: Time taken to produce, convey, and process each routing event in varying-sized cliques in minimart (monolithic NC).
prospect: Time taken to produce, convey, and process each routing event in varying-sized cliques in prospect (incremental NC).
