5 * sunspider: add --shark-cache for L2 Cache Miss profiling
7 2007-11-09 Alexey Proskuryakov <ap@webkit.org>
11 http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15925
12 SunSpider should check for Shark being installed
14 * sunspider: Explicitly test that shark command line tool is installed.
16 2007-11-04 Darin Adler <darin@apple.com>
18 * hosted/sunspider.html: Tweaked formatting a bit.
20 2007-11-03 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
24 - Add compare mode and a description of the benchmark to the hosted version.
26 * hosted/sunspider-results.html: Add compare mode - you can just paste in another results URL.
27 * hosted/sunspider.html: Added intro text.
28 * make-hosted: Copy new file.
29 * resources/sunspider-compare-results.js: Made more reusable by putting the implementation in
31 * resources/sunspider-standalone-compare.js: Added. Calls the function in the way standalone mode
33 * sunspider-compare-results: Use sunspider-standalone-compare.js.
35 2007-11-02 Darin Adler <darin@apple.com>
37 * sunspider: Changed "--base" to "--set-baseline".
39 2007-11-02 Darin Adler <darin@apple.com>
43 * sunspider: Added a "--base" option that records the current test as a baseline.
44 Moved the code to find the newest .mshark file into a function (since I needed to use
45 it in the other script and I prefer to copy/paste a function).
47 * sunspider-compare-results: Added logic to compare the baseline with the last
48 run when you don't pass any parameters.
50 2007-10-29 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
54 - Added list of ECMAScript3 features that SunSpider does not cover currently.
58 2007-10-29 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
62 - Give better error messages when sunspider-compare-results fails
64 * sunspider-compare-results:
66 2007-10-29 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
70 - fix Date tests to work in command-line SpiderMonkey
72 * tests/date-format-tofte.js:
73 * tests/date-format-xparb.js:
75 2007-10-29 Darin Adler <darin@apple.com>
79 * sunspider: Added --shark20 option, to run Shark at its highest sample
80 resolution instead of its default.
82 2007-10-28 Adam Roben <aroben@apple.com>
84 Fix SunSpider on Windows
88 * sunspider: Don't use colons in filenames.
90 2007-10-28 Darin Adler <darin@apple.com>
94 * resources/sunspider-analyze-results.js: Tweak the output format a little.
95 Change so that when there's only one run we don't write out confidence
96 intervals at all rather than writing "NaN" over and over again.
98 * sunspider: Use the time and date as a suffix on the results file, that way
99 all the results are left behind in the tmp directory. This will make it easy
100 for us to add features that compare past results in the future. Also rename
101 the .mshark files using the same scheme.
103 * sunspider-compare-results: Relax the parsing rules so we can parse the
104 results file exactly as it's emitted from sunspider.
106 2007-10-25 Adam Roben <aroben@apple.com>
108 Strip carriage returns from results
110 Carriage returns were screwing up sunspider-compare-results on
113 Rubberstamped by Oliver.

130 * sunspider-compare-results:
132 2007-10-23 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
136 - Add a compare script to compare results, and improve formatting of standard results a bit.
138 * resources/sunspider-analyze-results.js:
139 * resources/sunspider-compare-results.js: Added.
140 * sunspider-compare-results: Added.
142 2007-10-23 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
146 * resources/sunspider-analyze-results.js: Do the error range
147 properly, using the t-distribution instead of 1.96 (which was
148 based on the normal distribution).
150 * sunspider: Print results in a way that will be friendlier to the
151 soon-to-come compare mode.
153 2007-10-22 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
157 - add more tests (probably the final set for now)
159 Already balanced. Added date, regexp, control flow, and a few
160 more string and object/array access tests.

186 * tests/crypto-sha1.js: Added.
188 2007-10-21 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
192 - rebalance new tests
194 Scaled the new tests so they take 400-600ms on a reasonably normal user setup:
196 Internet Explorer 7, Window XP, Dell Latitude D810 with a 2.13GHz Pentium M
198 This balances them with the existing tests.
200 * tests/access-binary-trees.js:
201 * tests/access-nsieve.js:
202 * tests/bitops-nsieve-bits.js:
203 * tests/math-partial-sums.js:
204 * tests/math-spectral-norm.js:

213 Also re-factor code into subroutines
215 * sunspider: improved argument handling
217 2007-10-20 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
221 - Add more new tests, mostly from the computer language shootout. Not normalized yet.
225 * tests/access-binary-trees.js: Added.
226 * tests/access-nsieve.js: Added.
227 * tests/bitops-nsieve-bits.js: Added.

232 2007-10-20 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
236 * TODO: Updated to note areas that are now well-covered.
238 - Change the tests and the driver to avoid leaving large object
239 graphs hanging around, since that throws off the subsequent tests.
241 * resources/sunspider-standalone-driver.js:
244 * tests/3d-raytrace.js:
245 * tests/bitops-bitwise-and.js:
246 * tests/string-base64.js:

253 - Rebalance test complexity.
255 Scaled all the tests so they take 400-600ms on a reasonably normal user setup:
257 Internet Explorer 7, Window XP, Dell Latitude D810 with a 2.13GHz Pentium M
259 However, for some tests, IE7 was a huge outlier compared to other
260 major browsers. For those tests, I used Firefox 2.0.0.8 on the
261 same OS and hardware as a normalization basis.

279 * hosted/sunspider-driver.html:
281 2007-10-20 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
283 Rubber stamped by Hyatt.
285 - Add BSD license notice to cordic test, the original author said to do so.
287 * tests/math-cordic.js:
289 2007-10-18 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
293 - Support Windows and Windows browsers.
295 * hosted/sunspider-results.html: Display results correctly in IE.
296 * sunspider: tweaks to work on Windows, and with spaces in the path.
298 2007-10-18 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
300 Rubber stamped by Oliver.
302 * tests/string-tagcloud.js: Remove stray print()
304 2007-10-17 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
308 Add some string test cases.
310 * tests/string-base64.js: Added. Does base64 encoding and decoding.
311 * tests/string-tagcloud.js: Added. Parses a JSON string and

313 * tests/string-unpack-code.js: Added. Unpack compressed versions of
314 four of the most popular JavaScript libraries.
315 * tests/LIST: Added the new tests.
317 2007-10-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com>
321 * TODO: Updated with info on how to do the stats properly.
323 * hosted/sunspider-driver.html: Reduce timeout from 500 to 200 to
324 avoid overly slowing down the benchmark.
326 Added some 3D-related test cases.
328 * tests/3d-cube.js: Added.
329 * tests/3d-morph.js: Added.
330 * tests/3d-raytrace.js: Added.

337 - New JavaScript benchmark
338 http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15515
340 A start on a new JavaScript benchmark, with standalone and
341 browser-hosted drivers.
343 The test content is still incomplete and the drivers could use
344 some more features but there is enough here to make a good start.
346 The drivers compute a 95% confidence interval on the mean for the
347 whole test, each category, and each individual test to make it
348 easier to tell whether differences are statistically
349 significant. The confidence interval can be narrowed by running
352 * TODO: Added. Remaining things that need to be done.
353 * sunspider: Added. Perl script that acts as the standalone test driver.
354 * resources/sunspider-standalone-driver.js: Added. JavaScript part
355 of standalone test driver.
356 * resources/sunspider-analyze-results.js: Added. JavaScript statistical
358 * resources/TEMPLATE.html: Added. Template for browser-hosted tests.
359 * make-hosted: Added. Script to generate browser-hosted tests.

362 * hosted/sunspider-results.html: Added. Results page for browser-hosted
364 * hosted/sunspider-record-result.js: Added. Helper file for browser-hosted
366 * tests/LIST: Added. List of tests to use.
367 * tests/bitops-3bit-bits-in-byte.js: Added. Some initial test content.
368 * tests/bitops-bits-in-byte.js: Added. Ditto.
369 * tests/bitops-bitwise-and.js: Added. Ditto.
