benchmark-suite/README

   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.

   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.

  15 Please write more Guile benchmarks, and send them to
  16 bug-guile@gnu.org.  (Note that you must be subscribed to this list
  17 first, in order to successfully send a message to it.)  We'll merge
  18 them into the distribution.  All benchmark suites must be licensed for
  19 our use under the GPL, but I don't think we're going to collect
  20 assignment papers for them.
