I'm happy to share a new version (0.6.0) of the package-benchmark
SwiftPM command plugin - this release has one major feature and addresses one of the most common sources of confusion of the results - it's now based on the newly released package-histogram
greatly improving the experience when you have a wide range of values that are being captured.
The previous version of package-benchmark
would have a range of linear buckets (and take the first sample to choose magnitude) and fall back on power-of-two samples if outside the available bucket range (to keep memory usage constant).
The new version has full high-fidelity capture of all samples thanks to the new Histogram.
A couple of examples of before/after (see Memory (allocated)
and Memory (resident peak)
):
