Thanks, looking into it

Also it would be great if you could also paste the output of go test -bench=. -benchmem benchmarks/simple/*.go

second test

did not finish

[alphadose]

Got it, the current Select implementation is based on polling hence that is slow as evident in the second test not finishing

also interesting to note for high core amd64 CPU , SPSC mode ZenQ is slower than channels for large input sizes (6 * 10^8), this shall be improved too

Working on the improvements, will be released in next patch

[jdvjdv82]

yep, just let me know here. I will test on both platforms and different PCs again. I did not finish also on laptop 8 core i7.

[alphadose]

@jdvjdv82 Hello, I have updated the codebase and would like your help in benchmarking across both windows and ubuntu if possible
Pull the latest main branch
I need the outputs of the following commands

$ go run benchmarks/selector/main.go
$ go run benchmarks/simple/main.go
$ go test -bench=. -benchmem benchmarks/simple/*.go

Finally, I also need your hardware specs, that would really help me

Thanks in advance :)

Interesting that ZenQ select is really slow on windows for large batch sizes even with 24 cores, point noted

go job!!! memory allocation is much better and that matters a lot

[alphadose]

also zenq performs worse than channels for large size SPSC in ubuntu, another interesting thing :3

[alphadose]

@jdvjdv82 I have made some considerable improvements, it should now perform better in both windows and ubuntu

Pls help me out with the benchmarking once more :)

[jdvjdv82]

@alphadose sorry for delay, here are the benchmarks for both systems

[alphadose]

@jdvjdv82 no issues, thanks a lot for your help :)
We can observe that ubuntu performance has improved considerably since last run but its still slow for SPSC mode for some reason and selection

PS:- I am gathering all benchmarks here https://github.com/alphadose/ZenQ/tree/main/bench_reports

[jdvjdv82]

any idea why those measurements are so inconsistent?

@jdvjdv82 its because ZenQ uses sync.Pool internally

if pool objects get allocated more in the first phase, then the first halves will be slower due to heavy allocation and the later cases (1000 or more goroutines) will be faster because it re-uses the objects already allocated in sync.Pool. Also the vice versa is true.

that's why I use benchstat and measure the outputs from at least 30 cases to have better statistical significance
