Tinybench πŸ”Ž

CI NPM version Discord neostandard Javascript Code Style

Benchmark your code easily with Tinybench, a simple, tiny and light-weight 10KB (2KB minified and gzipped) benchmarking library! You can run your benchmarks in multiple JavaScript runtimes, Tinybench is completely based on the Web APIs with proper timing using process.hrtime or performance.now.

  • Accurate and precise timing based on the environment
  • Statistically analyzed latency and throughput values: standard deviation, margin of error, variance, percentiles, etc.
  • Concurrency support
  • Event and EventTarget compatible events
  • No dependencies

In case you need more tiny libraries like tinypool or tinyspy, please consider submitting an RFC

Installing

$ npm install -D tinybench

Usage

You can start benchmarking by instantiating the Bench class and adding benchmark tasks to it.

import { Bench } from 'tinybench'

const bench = new Bench({ name: 'simple benchmark', time: 100 })

bench
  .add('faster task', () => {
    console.log('I am faster')
  })
  .add('slower task', async () => {
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1)) // we wait 1ms :)
    console.log('I am slower')
  })

await bench.run()

console.log(bench.name)
console.table(bench.table())

// Output:
// simple benchmark

The add method accepts a task name and a task function, so it can benchmark it! This method returns a reference to the Bench instance, so it's possible to use it to create an another task for that instance.

Note that the task name should always be unique in an instance, because Tinybench stores the tasks based on their names in a Map.

Also note that tinybench does not log any result by default. You can extract the relevant stats from bench.tasks or any other API after running the benchmark, and process them however you want.

More usage examples can be found in the examples directory.

Docs

Events

Both the Task and Bench classes extend the EventTarget object. So you can attach listeners to different types of events in each class instance using the universal addEventListener and removeEventListener methods.

// runs on each benchmark task's cycle
bench.addEventListener('cycle', (evt) => {
  const task = evt.task!;
});
// runs only on this benchmark task's cycle
task.addEventListener('cycle', (evt) => {
  const task = evt.task!;
});

process.hrtime

if you want more accurate results for nodejs with process.hrtime, then import the hrtimeNow function from the library and pass it to the Bench options.

import { hrtimeNow } from 'tinybench'

It may make your benchmarks slower.

Concurrency

  • When mode is set to null (default), concurrency is disabled.
  • When mode is set to 'task', each task's iterations (calls of a task function) run concurrently.
  • When mode is set to 'bench', different tasks within the bench run concurrently. Concurrent cycles.
bench.threshold = 10 // The maximum number of concurrent tasks to run. Defaults to Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY.
bench.concurrency = 'task' // The concurrency mode to determine how tasks are run.
await bench.run()
