Go-Serialization-Benchmarks

Go Serialization Benchmarks

This utility was written to benchmark the performance of various serialization formats as well as transfer methods

Usage

This project is built using a client/server model, so it can be implemented in diverse environments. As long as the proper ports are exposed, both components should be able to communicate/run benchmarks.

1. To build the project, run the build file (using a BASH terminal) located in ./scripts/build.sh. This will build the client and server applications for your current OS/architecture and output them to the relevant folder located in ./dist

2. Run benchmark_server to initialize the server on your desired machine (can be local or remote)

3. Then run benchmark_client to connect to the above server and run the desired benchmarks

Options for each can be found by passing a -h flag

Alternatively, there is a helper script that does steps 2 and 3 for you with sane defaults in ./scripts/run_benchmark.sh

Results

*These example benchmarks were run on a MacOS environment with 16GB RAM and a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 *
