Benchmarks

For our benchmark we are using a small subset of the dataset songs.csv. It was generated with this command:

xsv sample --seed 42 1000000 songs.csv -o smol-songs.csv

You can download it here And the original songs.csv dataset is available here.

We also use a subset of wikipedia-articles.csv that was generated with the following command:

xsv sample --seed 42 500000 wikipedia-articles.csv -o smol-wikipedia-articles.csv

You can download the original here and the subset here.

• To run all the benchmarks we recommand using cargo bench, this should takes around ~4h
• You can also run the benchmarks on the songs dataset with cargo bench --bench songs, it should takes around 1h
• And on the wiki dataset with cargo bench --bench wiki, it should takes around 3h

By default the benchmarks will be downloaded and uncompressed automatically in the target directory. If you don't want to download the datasets everytime you updates something on the code you can specify a custom directory with the env variable MILLI_BENCH_DATASETS_PATH:

mkdir ~/datasets
MILLI_BENCH_DATASETS_PATH=~/datasets cargo bench --bench songs # the two datasets are downloaded
touch build.rs
MILLI_BENCH_DATASETS_PATH=~/datasets cargo bench --bench songs # the code is compiled again but the datasets are not downloaded
