Ok, I've added Rust bindings to the BLAKE3 C implementation, so that I can benchmark it in a vaguely consistent way. My laptop is an i5-8250U, which should be very similar to yours. (Both are "Kaby Lake Refresh".) My end result do look similar to yours with TurboBoost on, but pretty different with TurboBoost off: with TurboBoost on ------------------ K12 GCC | 2159 MB/s BLAKE3 Rust | 1787 MB/s BLAKE3 C Clang | 1588 MB/s BLAKE3 C GCC | 1453 MB/s with TurboBoost off ------------------- BLAKE3 Rust | 1288 MB/s K12 GCC | 1060 MB/s BLAKE3 C Clang | 1094 MB/s BLAKE3 C GCC | 943 MB/s The difference seems to be that with TurboBoost on, the BLAKE3 benchmarks have my CPU sitting around 2.4 GHz, while for the K12 benchmarks it's more like 2.9 GHz. With TurboBoost off, both benchmarks run at 1.6 GHz, and BLAKE3 does better. I'm not sure what causes that frequency difference. Perhaps some high-power instruction that the BLAKE3 implementation is emitting? To reproduce these numbers you can clone these two repos (the latter is where I happen to have a K12 benchmark): https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3 https://github.com/oconnor663/blake2_simd Then in both cases checkout the "bench_406668786" branch, where I've put some benchmarks with the same input length you used. For Rust BLAKE3, at the root of the BLAKE3 repo, run: cargo +nightly bench 406668786 For C BLAKE3, the command is the same, but run it in the "./c/blake3_c_rust_bindings" directory. The build defaults to GCC, and you can "export CC=clang" to switch it. For my K12 benchmark, at the root of the blake2_simd repo, run: cargo +nightly bench --features=kangarootwelve 406668786 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39298> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
