AnisseThat's it for the benchmarking! You can find my implementation at <a href="http://github.com/anisse/lbzip2-rs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://github.com/anisse/lbzip2-rs/</a> ; it's very much PoC-quality code, so use at our own risks! I chose to manually spawn threads instead of using rayon or an async runtime; there are other things I'm not proud of, like busy-waiting instead of condvar for example. 14/N<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/lbzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lbzip2</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bzip2</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustLang</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/async" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#async</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/rayon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rayon</a>

AnisseWhat about <a href="https://github.com/anisse/lbzip2-rs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">my implementation of lbzcat</a>? It was designed to work with files generated by lbzip2: it does not work on some files compressed by bzip2, and silently produces incorrect output (!). So we'll limit benchmarking to files produced by lbzip2. 11/N<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/lbzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lbzip2</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bzip2</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustLang</a>

AnisseThat gives us our baseline: bzip2 (in C) vs bzip2 (in Rust). But is it a fair enough comparison? I mentioned initially that I was implementing an lbzip2 "clone" (mostly a PoC for the decompression part). lbzip2 is an other program (a C binary, without a library), that can compress and decompress bzip2 files in parallel. Surely it should be slower than bzip2 since it has the parallel management overhead? 7/N<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/lbzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lbzip2</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bzip2</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustLang</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/perf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perf</a>

AnisseBut why? Let's see what <code>perf stat</code> has to say: the Rust version has less instructions, but with much less IPC (Instruction-per-clock); the Rust version also has less branches and misses in general. On the efficiency cores, we see that worse IPC and branch prediction of the Rust version give the advantage to the C version. 6/N<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bzip2</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustLang</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/perf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perf</a>

AnisseSo, let's start with the most obvious, the performance cores; they make the most sense for a CPU-intensive task; on my systems those are CPU 4-7. We can see here that the promise of the Trifecta Foundation holds, as the rust implementation is about 4% faster. 4/N<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bzip2</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustLang</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AsahiLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AsahiLinux</a>

Jacob PrattBetween a combination of using `const` blocks and (primarily) intelligently omitting what code is emitted, I managed to cut the output of the `format_description!` macro in `time` by 65–70% for a typical use case. All other macros emit less code as well.Nothing super flashy, but there will be a release of `time` relatively soon. It will include an MSRV bump to 1.81.0 (released 2024-09-05). It's first MSRV bump in two years.
