Benchmarking

Compilation

In order to compile the benchmarks JAR run: ./gradlew benchmarks

Running Codec Microbenchmarks

fix-gateway-system-tests/build/libs/fix-gateway-system-tests-0.1-SNAPSHOT-benchmarks.jar is just a standard JMH benchmark jar, so for example to run the stub decoder benchmark run:

java -jar ./fix-gateway-system-tests/build/libs/fix-gateway-system-tests-0.1-SNAPSHOT-benchmarks.jar StubDecoderBenchmark

Running Performance Tests

Run the server:

java -cp ./fix-gateway-system-tests/build/libs/fix-gateway-system-tests-0.1-SNAPSHOT-benchmarks.jar uk.co.real_logic.gateway.system_benchmarks.FixBenchmarkServer

Run the benchmark client:

java -cp ./fix-gateway-system-tests/build/libs/fix-gateway-system-tests-0.1-SNAPSHOT-benchmarks.jar uk.co.real_logic.figateway.system_benchmarks.FixBenchmarkClient
