Benchmarking (Nix)

Install HVM

See NIX.md in the root directory for installation instructions.

Initialise Nix development shell

# Go back to the root HVM directory.
cd ..
# Initialise the dev shell.
# The rest of the instructions in this section assume that you're using the dev
# shell.
nix develop
cd bench
cd <benchmark_directory>

Benchmark Haskell code:

ghc -O2 main.hs -o main
hyperfine --show-output ./main <arguments>

Benchmark HVM code:

hvm compile main.hvm
clang -O2 main.c -o main -lpthread
hyperfine --show-output ./main <arguments>

Run all benchmarks

Same as in the corresponding step in the "Benchmarking" section above.
