Benchmarks

Below is a all of the benchmarks currently conducted and built-in to the code of this repository for the purposes of testing and improving the implementation. For further detail, read the article here.

The specification for these benchmarks is as follows:

• The latest of each library was used as of 23 December, 2022.

• Windows 10 Pro machine, general user processes running in the background (but machine not being used).

• AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core @ 3600 MHz (12 Logcal Processors), 32.0 GB Physical Memory

• Clang 15.0.3, latest available Clang at the time of generation with MSVC ABI.

• Entire software stack for every dependency build under default CMake flags (including ICU and libiconv from vcpkg).

• Anywhere from 150 to 10million samples per iteration, with mean (average) of 100 iterations forming transparent dots on graph.

• Each bar graph is mean of the 100 iterations, with provided standard deviation-based error bars.

• In general, unless explicitly noted, the fastest possible API under the constraints was used to produce the data.

  • “Unbounded” means that, where shown, the available space left for writing was not considered.

  • “Unchecked” means that, where shown, the input was not validated before being converted.

  • “Well-Formed”, in the title, means that the input was well-formed.

  • (We do not do error benchmarks (yet).)

The categories of benchmarks are as follows:

• Function Form
• Transcoding - Unicode Encodings
