| 1 | This directory contains some benchmarks for Guile, and some generic |
| 2 | benchmarking support code. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | To run these benchmarks, you will need a version of Guile more recent |
| 5 | than 15 Feb 1999 --- the benchmarks use the (ice-9 and-let*) and |
| 6 | (ice-9 getopt-long) modules, which were added to Guile around then. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | For information about how to run the benchmark suite, read the usage |
| 9 | instructions in the comments at the top of the guile-benchmark script. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | You can reference the file `lib.scm' from your own code as the module |
| 12 | (benchmark-suite lib); it also has comments at the top and before each |
| 13 | function explaining what's going on. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Please write more Guile benchmarks, and send them to bug-guile@gnu.org. |
| 16 | We'll merge them into the distribution. All benchmark suites must be |
| 17 | licensed for our use under the GPL, but I don't think we're going to |
| 18 | collect assignment papers for them. |
