【问题描述】:
我无法解释为什么我的性能测试在 2 种不同类型的运行中返回显着不同的结果。
重现问题的步骤:
- 从 gist 获取代码: https://gist.github.com/AVAVT/83685bfe5280efc7278465f90657b9ea
- 运行
node practice1.generator - 运行
node practice1.performance-test
practice1.generator 应该生成一个test-data.json 文件,并将一些搜索算法执行时间记录到控制台中。
之后,practice1.performance-test 从test-data.json 中读取数据,并对相同的数据执行完全相同的评估函数。
我机器上的输出始终与此类似:
> node practice1.generator
Generate time: 9,307,061,368 nanoseconds
Total time using indexOf : 7,005,750 nanoseconds
Total time using for loop : 7,463,967 nanoseconds
Total time using binary search : 1,741,822 nanoseconds
Total time using interpolation search: 915,532 nanoseconds
> node practice1.performance-test
Total time using indexOf : 11,574,993 nanoseconds
Total time using for loop : 8,765,902 nanoseconds
Total time using binary search : 2,365,598 nanoseconds
Total time using interpolation search: 771,005 nanoseconds
注意indexOf 和binary search 与其他算法相比的执行时间差异。
如果我反复运行node practice1.generator 或 node practice1.performance-test,结果还是相当一致的。
现在这太令人不安了,我无法找到一种方法来确定哪个结果是可信的,以及为什么会出现这种差异。是否是由于生成的测试数组与 JSON.parse-d 测试数组之间的差异造成的;还是process.hrtime()引起的;还是我什至无法理解的未知原因?
更新:我已经追踪到indexOf案例的原因是因为JSON.parse。在practice1.generator内部,tests数组是原始生成的数组;而在practice1.performance-test 中,数组是从 json 文件中读取的,并且可能与原始数组有所不同。
如果在practice1.generator 内我改为JSON.parse() 来自字符串的一个新数组:
var tests2 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(tests));
performanceUtil.performanceTest(tests2);
indexOf 的执行时间现在在两个文件上是一致的。
> node practice1.generator
Generate time: 9,026,080,466 nanoseconds
Total time using indexOf : 11,016,420 nanoseconds
Total time using for loop : 8,534,540 nanoseconds
Total time using binary search : 1,586,780 nanoseconds
Total time using interpolation search: 742,460 nanoseconds
> node practice1.performance-test
Total time using indexOf : 11,423,556 nanoseconds
Total time using for loop : 8,509,602 nanoseconds
Total time using binary search : 2,303,099 nanoseconds
Total time using interpolation search: 718,723 nanoseconds
所以至少我知道indexOf 在原始数组上运行得更好,而在JSON.parse-d 数组上运行得更差。 我还是只知道原因,不知道为什么。
2 个文件的二进制搜索执行时间仍然不同,在 practice1.generator 中始终花费 ~1.7ms(即使使用 JSON.parse-d 对象)和在 practice1.performance-test 中花费 ~2.3ms .
以下是与要点中相同的代码,供将来参考。

【问题讨论】:
-
你运行的是什么版本的节点?
-
嘿,@SamH。我正在使用节点 v6.11
-
刚刚在 8.5.0 Current 上测试并得到了相同的结果。
