Generic Go Benchmark and Plotting

The scripts in this directory can be used to run benchmarks on the executor and generate plots based on the benchmark results.

Prerequisites

• Go (for running benchmarks)
• Python 3 (for generating plots)
• matplotlib (Python library for plotting)

Running Benchmarks

1. Navigate to the directory containing the Go files you want to benchmark:

   cd core

2. Run the benchmarks using the go test command. You can specify patterns to run specific benchmarks:

   go test -bench=BenchmarkExecuteQuery -benchmem

Generating Plots

1. Place your benchmark_results.txt file in the same directory as your plot_benchmarks.py script.

2. Install the required Python library:

   # Create a virtual environment
   python3 -m venv venv
   
    # Activate the virtual environment
   source venv/bin/activat
   
    # Install matplotlib
   pip install matplotlib

3. Run the Python script to generate plots:

   python plot_benchmarks.py

4. The script will read the benchmark_results.txt file and generate plots based on the benchmark results.
