all: Go compiler/runtime performance monitoring system #48803

prattmic · 2021-10-05T20:18:02Z

The runtime/compiler team is investigating the creation of a performance monitoring system, with a primary goal of reducing release toil by catching performance regressions as early as possible.

Requirements are still being discussed, but highlights include:

Automation of performance data generation.
- Benchmark execution solution that tracks commits to Go (e.g., x/build coordinator scheduling benchmark runs).
Storage and visualization of performance data over time.
Key set of "application-level" and "feature-focused" benchmarks.
Active monitoring of changepoints.
Easy debugging/reproduction.

Thank you for the tag @mvdan!

Indeed, at Orijtech Inc we've been working on such a product "Bencher" for the past 2 quarters of 2021 and produced it recently https://twitter.com/odeke_et/status/1428650768135974919?s=21: we have an integration on the GitHub marketplace at https://github.com/marketplace/gobencher and we actually have something on our roadmap to add a Gerrit integration during Q4 2021 or Q1 2022. I had raised and shown the product to @Sajmani, @spf13, @ianlancetaylor and @ianthehat and others :-)

For example, take a look at one of our public users Entgo https://dashboard.github.orijtech.com/benchmark/2bb34b8e166747d2974f76825819acbd

We'd be delighted to work with y'all to bring this first class to the Go tooling ecosystem!

I have some thoughts about this site/app:

Transparent. All results should be available to public like benchsave instead of internal site from Google.
Informative. Regression notice to Gerrit/owner of CL.
Easy to compare with different baselines like major versions of Go.

mknyszek · 2021-10-06T15:13:15Z

@mengzhuo All three of those things are already on our radar. :) Thanks.

@odeke-em We are still evaluating our options. We've looked at several different off-the-shelf options, including Bencher, as well as extending the existing http://build.golang.org infrastructure with what we need. We are currently leaning towards extending http://build.golang.org, as we already maintain it and it supports much of what we need already (fully open source, precise control over dedicated hardware used for benchmarking, etc).

In dev mode, the coordinator uses hostPathHandler, which redirects /reverse and /revdial to /farmer.golang.org/reverse, etc. Establishing a revdial connection chokes on this redirect, as there it expects to complete the protocol switch in a single request. Add rudimentary redirect support via a helper so this works in dev mode. Note that linkRewriter must implement http.Hijacker as revdial.ConnHandler type-asserts the http.ResponseWriter to a Hijacker.

Curious to know will benchmark fluctuation be taken into account, and how? Thanks.

prattmic · 2021-11-17T16:02:51Z

@shawn-xdji By fluctuation, I assume you mean noise in the results. We are taking a few approaches up front:

Running benchmarks on a low-noise machines. For now we plan to use "sole-tenant" VMs on GCE, though we may move to physical machines if necessary.
Rerunning the baseline benchmarks each time we test a new commit to help account for long term changes (e.g., OS upgrade changes performance).
Changepoint detection will need to statistical handle a small amount of noise.
We are only planning to track a curated set of benchmarks. Benchmarks that a fundamentally noisy will either be excluded or fixed.

Finally, all of this is something we'll need to learn on as we go and find out how big the issues are.

shawndx · 2021-11-18T02:42:08Z

Thanks @prattmic, that answers my question, anticipate you will share some best practices later.

Change https://golang.org/cl/376634 mentions this issue: cmd/coordinator: baseline toolchain for benchmarks

When benchmarking, we want to benchmark both the toolchain under test (i.e., buildStatus.Rev) as well as an older "baseline" toolchain, which will be compared against. For now, the baseline toolchain is the latest stable release. In the future we may want to update more frequently, but this is a simple starting point. This CL determines the baseline toolchain commit for a given test and installs it on the buildlet at BENCH_BASELINE_GOROOT. golang.org/x/benchmarks/cmd/bench is responsible for utilizing the baseline toolchain. CL 376096 is the corresponding change to cmd/bench. Most of the baseline toolchain logic is limited to runBenchmarkTests(). In theory, it logically fits a bit better with the rest of the toolchain logic in build() et al, but keeping it limited to runBenchmarkTests() helps keep the common build() path from getting much more complex for a minor edge-case feature.

Though the search box and duration/end boxes are conceptually different adjustments, and have separate submit buttons, put them inside the same <form> so that the browser automatically sets all query parameters as expected. e.g., when on a single benchmark page, changing duration/end should not change the selected benchmark.

Thank you. Great work.

I have noticed the data goes back only to 22nd of March (even if I query for more). Would it be possible to extend it?

Also, could we look in to other metrics, like the time to compile Go itself (compilebench?), the size of Go binary broken down by funcs (feed data from something like compilecmp). Perhaps timings of individual SSA passes. Just some ideas for things that could be useful.

I have noticed the data goes back only to 22nd of March (even if I query for more). Would it be possible to extend it?

That is when we started collecting data. It is theoretically possible to test older commits, but I don't think it is worth the effort since we have plenty to investigate already.

Also, could we look in to other metrics, like the time to compile Go itself (compilebench?), the size of Go binary broken down by funcs (feed data from something like compilecmp). Perhaps timings of individual SSA passes. Just some ideas for things that could be useful.

The benchmarks we run are in x/benchmarks/cmd/bench (which most consists of configurations of x/benchmarks/cmd/bent (various unit benchmarks from the community) and x/benchmarks/sweet (large application-scale benchmarks)). We have a minimal set of benchmarks right now, and are certainly open to benchmarking additional things, like the ideas you suggested.
