The suite only had single-process CPU workloads. Add the two largest
real-world categories:
- http-api (kind "server"): a node:http JSON API in the static subset
(routing, query parsing, seeded catalog, per-cart state, typed JSON
bodies, ETag/If-None-Match, auth and request-id headers), driven by
clients/http-load.mjs, a raw-socket keep-alive HTTP/1.1 load client
that is identical for every server. 64 connections, 2 client threads,
4,000 untimed warmup and 40,000 measured requests on loopback. The
per-connection request schedule is seeded and server state is
partitioned per connection, so the response digest is deterministic.
Correctness compares server stdout, server stderr (minus the PORT
line), exit status, and client stdout with Node byte-for-byte. The
timed sample is the measured-phase wall time; a second table reports
req/s, p50/p90/p99 latency, client CPU, and peak RSS.
- cli-config (process, launches: 20): a deploy-plan CLI that reads a
~110 KB JSON manifest, validates, interpolates env values, and orders
80 services into dependency waves. Each sample is the median of 20
launches, so startup dominates.
The runner stays backward compatible: process workloads behave as
before, the JSON report keeps its fields and adds kind, launches,
category, server, node_peak_rss_bytes, and geomean_vs_node_by_category,
and the summary prints per-category geomeans (cpu, startup, server).
Fourteen application-shaped workloads (JSON, regex, parsing and class
dispatch, sorting, rendering, collection pipelines, async fan-out,
Map/Set graphs, allocation, numeric kernels, exceptions, CSV, and the
two multi-module build benchmark apps on large inputs).
bench:runtime builds each workload with one or two checkouts, refuses to
time any executable whose stdout, stderr, or exit status differs from
Node, interleaves baseline and candidate launches, and reports medians
with bootstrap 95% confidence intervals, binary size, and peak RSS.
* Make native installs portable and smaller
- Support glibc 2.34 with portable compiler binaries and static LLVM helpers.
- Bundle the host runtime and discover optional cross-target packs from project dependencies.
- Add application build benchmarks covering latency, executable size, and memory.
* Keep bootstrap tools available in Sandbox validation
- Isolate Zig for native compiler bootstrap and glibc entropy contracts.
- Preserve the existing toolchain scope for cache and corpus tests.
* Fix portable compiler bootstrap linking
- Keep native support objects compatible with the destination host linker.
- Resolve installed targets using the host declared by the toolchain manifest.
