📚 skynet - Awesome Go Library for Benchmarks
Skynet 1M threads microbenchmark.
Detailed Description of skynet
Skynet 1M concurrency microbenchmark
Creates an actor (goroutine, whatever), which spawns 10 new actors, each of them spawns 10 more actors, etc. until one million actors are created on the final level. Then, each of them returns back its ordinal number (from 0 to 999999), which are summed on the previous level and sent back upstream, until reaching the root actor. (The answer should be 499999500000).

How to run
Scala/Akka
Install latest Scala and SBT.
Go to scala/
, then run sbt compile run
.
Java/Quasar
Install the Java 8 SDK.
Go to java-quasar/
./gradlew
Go
Install latest Go compiler/runtime.
In go/
, run go run skynet.go
.
Pony
Install latest Pony compiler.
In pony/
, run ponyc -b skynet && ./skynet
.
Erlang
Install latest Erlang runtime.
In erlang
, run erl +P 2000000
(to raise process limit), then compile:
- For non-HIPE:
c(skynet).
- For HIPE (if supported on your system):
hipe:c(skynet).
Then, run:
skynet:skynet(1000000,10).
.NET Core:
Install latest version of .NET Core
Go to dnx/
dotnet restore
(first time)
dotnet run --configuration Release
Haskell
Install Stack
In haskell/
, run stack build && stack exec skynet +RTS -N
Node (bluebird)
Install node.js
in node-bluebird/
run npm install
then node skynet
FSharp
Install FSharp Interactive
Run fsi skynet.fsx, or run fsi and paste the code in (runs faster this way)
Crystal:
Install latest version of Crystal.
Go to crystal/
crystal build skynet.cr --release
./skynet
.NET/TPL
Build the solution with VS2015. Windows only :(
=======
Java
Install the Java 8 SDK.
Go to java/
./gradlew :run
Rust (with coroutine-rs)
cd ./rust-coroutine
cargo build --release
cargo run --release
LuaJIT
Install luajit
Run luajit luajit/skynet.lua
Scheme/Guile Fibers
Install Guile, Guile fibers, and wisp; for example via guix package -i guile guile-fibers guile-wisp
.
Go to guile-fibers
./skynet.scm
