This repository collects benchmark tests for Elixir. The idea is that given two or more possible implementations for a single task, we want to see which is more performant.
Pass in a variable, the function determines the type. Current implementations:
- Single function, using an internal
cond. This is closer to a traditional if/else or switch/case implementation. - Single public function, multiple private functions with a guard clause for each type.
Given a list of words, upcase all of them. Current implementations:
- Using
mapon the list. - Linear recursion on the list (i.e. where memory usage increases depending on the length of the list)
- Iterative recursion on the list (also called tail, where each function call doesn't need any other following one to be computed).
More info on that here.
mix deps.get
mix test
You can:
- provide alternative implementations
- suggest new test cases
- build a better test output - this is very rough
