WebP Bench

This is a helper repo that tests different versions of WebP Server Go's performance and RAM usage, for results please visit https://docs.webp.sh/benchmark/.

Prepare

Install requirements, since this test is done with jemalloc, you need to install it first.

apt install libvips-dev libjemalloc2 -y
pip3 install psrecord

Create a directory and clone the following repos:

• https://github.com/webp-sh/webp_server_go
• https://github.com/webp-sh/webp_bench

Now your directory should look like this:

[Nova@WebP bench]$ ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x.  4 Nova Nova 4096 Jul 24 15:58 webp_bench
drwxr-xr-x. 12 Nova Nova 4096 Jul 24 15:58 webp_server_go

Download example image set and place inside webp_bench directory:

cd webp_bench/pics && wget https://archive.org/download/imgur_VCnYv/imgur_VCnYv.zip
unzip imgur_VCnYv.zip && rm -f imgur_VCnYv.zip

Now it's ready to bench, make sure you cd back inside webp_bench directory.

If you're not using Ubuntu 22.04 for testing, make sure to change line 19 of bench.sh as jemalloc's path may be different.

For example, in fedora it's /usr/lib64/libjemalloc.so.2

Test on single version

For example you want to test on 0.8.0

./bench.sh 0.8.0

Example output at benchmark/0.8.0.png

Example output at benchmark/data.txt

0.8.0 709       00:49

version RAM(MB) Time(MM:SS)

Test on all versions

./bench_all.sh
