String Concatenation

This benchmark evaluates the performance of string concatenation using the + operator, the bytes.Buffer and the strings.Builder when building a 1,000-character string. The implementations using the bytes.Buffer and the strings.Builder are the fastest.

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"strings"
	"testing"
)

var strLen int = 1000

func BenchmarkConcatString(b *testing.B) {
	var str string

	i := 0

	b.ResetTimer()
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		str += "x"

		i++
		if i >= strLen {
			i = 0
			str = ""
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkConcatBuffer(b *testing.B) {
	var buffer bytes.Buffer

	i := 0

	b.ResetTimer()
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		buffer.WriteString("x")

		i++
		if i >= strLen {
			i = 0
			buffer = bytes.Buffer{}
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkConcatBuilder(b *testing.B) {
	var builder strings.Builder

	i := 0

	b.ResetTimer()
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		builder.WriteString("x")

		i++
		if i >= strLen {
			i = 0
			builder = strings.Builder{}
		}
	}
}

$ go test -bench=. -benchmem

Numeric Conversions

This benchmark evaluates the performance of parsing strings to bool, int64 and float64 types using the Go strconv package.

package main

import (
	"strconv"
	"testing"
)

func BenchmarkParseBool(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		_, err := strconv.ParseBool("true")
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkParseInt(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		_, err := strconv.ParseInt("7182818284", 10, 64)
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkParseFloat(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		_, err := strconv.ParseFloat("3.1415926535", 64)
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
	}
}

$ go test -bench=. -benchmem

BenchmarkParseBool-4   300,000,000   4 ns/op  0 B/op  0 allocs/op
BenchmarkParseInt-4     50,000,000  25 ns/op  0 B/op  0 allocs/op
BenchmarkParseFloat-4   50,000,000  40 ns/op  0 B/op  0 allocs/op

Regular Expressions

This benchmark evaluates the performance of regular expression matching using the Go regexp package for compiled and uncompiled regular expressions. The example uses a simple email validation regexp. As expected, the compiled regexp matching is much faster.

package main

import (
	"regexp"
	"testing"
)

var testRegexp string = `^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]+$`

func BenchmarkMatchString(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		_, err := regexp.MatchString(testRegexp, "jsmith@example.com")
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkMatchStringCompiled(b *testing.B) {
	r, err := regexp.Compile(testRegexp)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	b.ResetTimer()
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		r.MatchString("jsmith@example.com")
	}
}

$ go test -bench=. -benchmem

BenchmarkMatchString-4            100,000  17,380 ns/op  42,752 B/op  70 allocs/op
BenchmarkMatchStringCompiled-4  2,000,000     843 ns/op       0 B/op   0 allocs/op

Sorting

This benchmark evaluates the performance of sorting 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 and 1,000,000-int elements using the built-in sorting algorithm from the Go sort package. The time complexity is documented to be O(n*log(n)), which can be observed in the results.

package main

import (
	"math/rand"
	"sort"
	"testing"
)

func generateSlice(n int) []int {
	s := make([]int, 0, n)
	for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
		s = append(s, rand.Intn(1e9))
	}
	return s
}

func BenchmarkSort1000(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		b.StopTimer()
		s := generateSlice(1000)
		b.StartTimer()
		sort.Ints(s)
	}
}

func BenchmarkSort10000(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		b.StopTimer()
		s := generateSlice(10000)
		b.StartTimer()
		sort.Ints(s)
	}
}

func BenchmarkSort100000(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		b.StopTimer()
		s := generateSlice(100000)
		b.StartTimer()
		sort.Ints(s)
	}
}

func BenchmarkSort1000000(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		b.StopTimer()
		s := generateSlice(1000000)
		b.StartTimer()
		sort.Ints(s)
	}
}

$ go test -bench=. -benchmem

Random Numbers

This benchmark compares the performance of pseudorandom number generation using the Go math/rand and crypto/rand packages. The random number generation using the math/rand package is considerably faster than the cryptographically secure random number generation using the crypto/rand package.

package main

import (
	crand "crypto/rand"
	"math/big"
	"math/rand"
	"testing"
)

func BenchmarkMathRand(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		rand.Int63()
	}
}

func BenchmarkCryptoRand(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		_, err := crand.Int(crand.Reader, big.NewInt(27))
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
	}
}

$ go test -bench=. -benchmem

BenchmarkMathRand-4    50,000,000     23 ns/op    0 B/op  0 allocs/op
BenchmarkCryptoRand-4   1,000,000  1,336 ns/op  161 B/op  5 allocs/op

Random Strings

This benchmark compares the performance of 16-character, uniformly distributed random string generation based on the Go math/rand and crypto/rand. The random string generation with using math/rand package is faster than the cryptographically secure random string generation using the crypto/rand package.

package main

import (
	crand "crypto/rand"
	"math/rand"
	"testing"
)

// 64 letters
const letters = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz+/"

func randomBytes(n int) []byte {
	bytes := make([]byte, n)
	_, err := rand.Read(bytes)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	return bytes
}

func cryptoRandomBytes(n int) []byte {
	bytes := make([]byte, n)
	_, err := crand.Read(bytes)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	return bytes
}

func randomString(bytes []byte) string {
	for i, b := range bytes {
		bytes[i] = letters[b%64]
	}

	return string(bytes)
}

func BenchmarkMathRandString(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		randomString(randomBytes(16))
	}
}

func BenchmarkCryptoRandString(b *testing.B) {
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		randomString(cryptoRandomBytes(16))
	}
}

$ go test -bench=. -benchmem

BenchmarkMathRandString-4    10,000,000  119 ns/op  32 B/op  2 allocs/op
BenchmarkCryptoRandString-4   2,000,000  864 ns/op  32 B/op  2 allocs/op

Slice Appending

This benchmark evaluates the performance of appending a byte to a slice with and without slice preallocation.

package main

import (
	"testing"
)

var numItems int = 1000000

func BenchmarkSliceAppend(b *testing.B) {
	s := make([]byte, 0)

	i := 0
	b.ResetTimer()
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		s = append(s, 1)

		i++
		if i == numItems {
			b.StopTimer()
			i = 0
			s = make([]byte, 0)
			b.StartTimer()
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkSliceAppendPrealloc(b *testing.B) {
	s := make([]byte, 0, numItems)

	i := 0
	b.ResetTimer()
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		s = append(s, 1)

		i++
		if i == numItems {
			b.StopTimer()
			i = 0
			s = make([]byte, 0, numItems)
			b.StartTimer()
		}
	}
}

$ go test -bench=. -benchmem

Map Access

This benchmark evaluates the access performance of maps with int vs. string keys for 1,000,000-item maps.

package main

import (
	"math/rand"
	"strconv"
	"testing"
)

var NumItems int = 1000000

func BenchmarkMapStringKeys(b *testing.B) {
	m := make(map[string]string)
	k := make([]string, 0)

	for i := 0; i < NumItems; i++ {
		key := strconv.Itoa(rand.Intn(NumItems))
		m[key] = "value" + strconv.Itoa(i)
		k = append(k, key)
	}

	i := 0
	l := len(m)

	b.ResetTimer()
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		if _, ok := m[k[i]]; ok {
		}

		i++
		if i >= l {
			i = 0
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkMapIntKeys(b *testing.B) {
	m := make(map[int]string)
	k := make([]int, 0)

	for i := 0; i < NumItems; i++ {
		key := rand.Intn(NumItems)
		m[key] = "value" + strconv.Itoa(i)
		k = append(k, key)
	}

	i := 0
	l := len(m)

	b.ResetTimer()
	for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
		if _, ok := m[k[i]]; ok {
		}

		i++
		if i >= l {
			i = 0
		}
	}
}
