New submission from STINNER Victor: In the issue #28240, I changed the default repeat from 3 to 5 in timeit. Serhiy wrote (msg277157): "For now default timeit run takes from 0.8 to 8 sec. Adding yet 5 sec makes a user more angry."
I propose to use powers to 2, instead of powers of 10, in timeit autorange to reduce the total duration of the microbenchmark. * Without the patch, the worst case: 4.0 * 6 = 24 seconds. * With the patch, the worst case is: 0.4 * 6 = 2.4 seconds * 6: autorange (1 iteration) + 5 repeatition * autorange uses a minimum of 200 ms, so the worst case is 200 ms * 10 before, or 200 ms * 2 after ---------- files: timeit_autorange_pow2.patch keywords: patch messages: 278899 nosy: haypo, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: timeit: use powers of 2 in autorange(), instead of powers of 10 type: performance versions: Python 3.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file45134/timeit_autorange_pow2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28469> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
