ByteProviderBench

Benchmarking tool for measuring ByteProvider performance.

📁 Contents

🎯 Purpose

This is a performance benchmarking tool used during development to measure and optimize ByteProvider operations:

  • File reading/writing performance
  • Memory usage under various scenarios
  • Insert/delete operation speed
  • Search algorithm efficiency
  • Large file handling benchmarks

🔧 Benchmarked Operations

The tool tests:

  • Sequential Read: Reading bytes sequentially
  • Random Read: Random access patterns
  • Sequential Write: Writing bytes in order
  • Random Write: Random write patterns
  • Insert Operations: Dynamic file size changes
  • Delete Operations: Byte removal performance
  • Search Performance: Find/FindAll operations
  • Memory Footprint: RAM usage with large files

🎓 Usage

# Build and run
cd Tools/ByteProviderBench
dotnet run

# Run with specific file size
dotnet run -- --size 1GB

# Run specific benchmark
dotnet run -- --benchmark read

# Output results to file
dotnet run -- --output results.txt
