NAME

Bencher::Scenario::Digest - Benchmark various digest algorithms

VERSION

This document describes version 0.001 of Bencher::Scenario::Digest (from Perl distribution Bencher-Scenario-Digest), released on 2017-03-07.

SYNOPSIS

To run benchmark with default option:

 % bencher -m Digest

To run module startup overhead benchmark:

 % bencher --module-startup -m Digest

For more options (dump scenario, list/include/exclude/add participants, list/include/exclude/add datasets, etc), see bencher or run bencher --help.

DESCRIPTION

Packaging a benchmark script as a Bencher scenario makes it convenient to include/exclude/add participants/datasets (either via CLI or Perl code), send the result to a central repository, among others . See Bencher and bencher (CLI) for more details.

BENCHMARKED MODULES

Version numbers shown below are the versions used when running the sample benchmark.

Digest::MD5 2.54

Digest::SHA 5.95

BENCHMARK PARTICIPANTS

• md5 (perl_code)

  Code template:

   my $ctx = Digest::MD5->new; $ctx->add($main::data1M) for 1..<size>; $ctx->hexdigest

• sha1 (perl_code)

  Code template:

   my $ctx = Digest::SHA->new(1); $ctx->add($main::data1M) for 1..<size>; $ctx->hexdigest

• sha256 (perl_code)

  Code template:

   my $ctx = Digest::SHA->new(256); $ctx->add($main::data1M) for 1..<size>; $ctx->hexdigest

• sha512 (perl_code)

  Code template:

   my $ctx = Digest::SHA->new(512); $ctx->add($main::data1M) for 1..<size>; $ctx->hexdigest

BENCHMARK DATASETS

• 10M
