A Real World Demo (.NET Collections Benchmark 🚀)

A Comprehensive Performance Comparison Benchmark Between Different .NET Collections.

https://github.com/mjebrahimi/DotNet-Collections-Benchmark/

Getting Started

1. Install Package

PM> Install-Package BenchmarkDotNetVisualizer

2. Simple Using

Methods:

• SaveAsImageAsync()
• SaveAsHtmlAsync()
• SaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync()

Example:

var summary = BenchmarkRunner.Run<JsonSerializersBenchmark>(); 

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\JsonSerializers\Benchmark.html
var htmlFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\JsonSerializers\Benchmark.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\JsonSerializers\Benchmark.png
var imageFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\JsonSerializers\Benchmark.png");
await summary.SaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(
    htmlPath: htmlFileName, 
    imagePath: imageFileName,
    options: new ReportHtmlOptions
    {
        Title = "Json Serializers Benchmark",
        GroupByColumns = ["Method"],                          // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
        SpectrumColumns = ["Mean", "Allocated"],              // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum
        DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.EmptyDividerRow, // Separates tables by Empty Divider Row
        HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.Simple            // Uses simple HTML table
    });

3. Using Exporters

Exporters:

• [RichImageExporter]
• [RichHtmlExporter]

Example:

BenchmarkRunner.Run<JsonSerializersBenchmark>();

//Exports colorful image
[RichImageExporter(
    title: "Json Serializers Benchmark", 
    groupByColumns: ["Method"],             // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
    spectrumColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"], // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum and Sorts the result by them 
    //format: ImageFormat.Webp or Jpeg      // You can set image format (Default is ImageFormat.Png)
)]  

//Exports feature-rich HTML
[RichHtmlExporter(
    title: "Json Serializers Benchmark", 
    groupByColumns: ["Method"],             // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
    spectrumColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"]  // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum and Sorts the result by them 
    //sortByColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"]  // You can also sort by other columns as you wish
)]

[MemoryDiagnoser(displayGenColumns: false)] // Displays Allocated column (without GC per Generation columns (Gen 0, Gen 1, Gen 2) due to false option)
public class JsonSerializersBenchmark { ... }

Output:

To see the results, navigate to the following path:

For Example:

• MyBenchmark\bin\Release\net8.0\BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts\results\Benchmark-report-rich.html

Using BenchmarkAutoRunner to Run your benchmarks

It's Recommend to use BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run() instead of BenchmarkRunner.Run() to run your benchmarks.

BenchmarkAutoRunner is similar to BenchmarkRunner, but uses Job.Dry with InProcessEmitToolchain is case of DEBUG Mode (due to ease of debugging), and your specified job in case of RELEASE Mode.

It also Warns you if you are running project incorrectly. (for example running with Attached Debugger while RELEASE Mode is enabled)

var summary = BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IteratorsBenchmark>();

Using JoinReports method to Join and Pivot your reports

Example:

Performance benchmark between for, foreach, and ForEach() in different versions of .NET

Pivot by .NET Runtime version column

//Recommend to use BenchmarkAutoRunner instead of BenchmarkRunner
var summary = BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IteratorsBenchmark>();

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime.html
var htmlFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime.png
var imageFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime.png");

await summary.JoinReportsAndSaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(
    htmlPath: htmlFileName,
    imagePath: imageFileName,
    options: new JoinReportHtmlOptions
    {
        Title = "Performance Comparison between for, foreach, and ForEach() method",
        MainColumn = "Method",
        GroupByColumns = ["Categories", "Length"],           // Groups by column 'Categories' and 'Length'
        PivotProperty = "Runtime",
        StatisticColumns = ["Mean"],
        ColumnsOrder = [".NET Core 3.0", ".NET Core 3.1", ".NET 5.0", ".NET 6.0", ".NET 7.0", ".NET 8.0"], // Order of columns 
        DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.SeparateTables, //Separates tables by Grouping by 'GroupByColumns'
        HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.RichDataTables,  //Uses feature-rich https://datatables.net plugin
    });

Output Image:

Pivot by Method column

//Recommend to use BenchmarkAutoRunner instead of BenchmarkRunner
var summary = BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IteratorsBenchmark>();

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Method.html
var htmlFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Method.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Method.png
var imageFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Method.png");

await summary2.JoinReportsAndSaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(
    htmlPath: htmlFileName,
    imagePath: imageFileName,
    options: new JoinReportHtmlOptions
    {
        Title = "Performance Comparison between for, foreach, and ForEach() method",
        MainColumn = "Runtime",
        GroupByColumns = ["Categories", "Length"],           // Groups by column 'Categories' and 'Length'
        PivotProperty = "Method",
        StatisticColumns = ["Mean"],
        ColumnsOrder = ["for", "foreach", "ForEach()"],      // Order of columns 
        DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.SeparateTables, // Separates tables by Grouping by 'GroupByColumns'
        HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.RichDataTables,  // Uses feature-rich https://datatables.net plugin
    });
