I'm pleased to announce the release of the Fibon benchmark tools and suite. Fibon is a set of tools for running and analyzing benchmark programs in Haskell. Most importantly, it includes an optional set of benchmark programs including many programs taken from the Hackage open source repository. The source code for the tools and benchmarks are available on github https://github.com/dmpots/fibon http://github.com/dmpots/fibon-benchmarks The Fibon tools (without the benchmarks) are available on hackage. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/fibon The package needs to be unpacked and built in place to be able to run any benchmarks. It can be used with the official Fibon benchmarks or you can create your own suite and just use Fibon to run and analyze your benchmark programs. Some more documentation is available on the fibon wiki https://github.com/dmpots/fibon/wiki Fibon Tools =================================================================== Fibon is a pure Haskell framework for running and analyzing benchmark programs. Cabal is used for building the benchmarks. The benchmark harness, configuration files, and benchmark descriptions are all written in Haskell. The benchmark descriptions and run configurations are all statically compiled into the benchmark runner to ensure that configuration errors are found at compile time. The Fibon tools are not tied to any compiler infrastructure and can build benchmarks using any compiler supported by cabal. However, there are some extra features available when using GHC to build the benchmarks: * Support in config files for using an inplace GHC HEAD build * Support in `fibon-run` for collecting GC stats from GHC compiled programs * Support in `fibon-analyse` for reading GC stats from Fibon result files The Fibon Benchmark Suite =================================================================== The Fibon benchmark suite currently contains 34 benchmarks from a variety of sources. The individual benchmarks and lines of code are given below.
