💖 QUANTLIB-BENCHMARK 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the manual page for quantlib-benchmark — it lives in section 1 (General Commands Manual) of your friendly neighbourhood man pages, and it's literally just a performance benchmark executable for QuantLib. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

quantlib-benchmark — the performance benchmark executable for QuantLib 🏃‍♀️💨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

quantlib-benchmark

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no drama. she just runs. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ok so here's the tea ☕ — quantlib-benchmark gets created at compile-time from the QuantLib sources, using the Boost test framework tools. so like, she's not some separate thing you install and configure, she's built straight out of the source, iykyk. 🦋

and what does she do? she measures the performance of a preselected set of numerically intensive test cases. not all of them, not a random grab — a curated lil lineup. main character energy honestly 👑

the overall QuantLib Benchmark Index is given by the average performance in mflops. yes bestie, mflops. floating point operations per second, but make it millions. the way that number just sums up the whole vibe of your machine 🔥

and how did anyone even count the floating point ops for a given test case? great question, so glad you asked 🫶 — that was measured using the perfex library. you can peek at it right here:

no cap, that's where the numbers came from. 📊

heads up bestie: this is a straight-up benchmark tool, so run it when your machine is chill and not, like, compiling seventeen other things. the numbers are the whole point, so protect the vibe check. 😭

and that's the whole page, fr fr. this beauty comes to you from QuantLib, dated 02 November 2006 🌸 mwah, go benchmark something, you absolute icon 💅✨
