Details

Summary
  • Improved microbenchmarking with multiple features.
  • inline performance critical code
  • Average runtime is specified and used to calculate iterations.
  • Console: show median of multiple runs
  • plot: show box plot
  • filter benchmarks
  • specify scaling factor
  • ignore src/test and src/bench in command line check script
  • number of iterations instead of time
  • Replaced runtime in BENCHMARK makro number of iterations.
  • Added -? to bench_bitcoin
  • Benchmark plotly.js URL, width, height can be customized
  • Fixed incorrect precision warning
    • Removed CCheckQueueSpeed benchmark

This benchmark's runtime was rather unpredictive on different machines, not really a useful benchmark.

This is a backport of Core PR11517

Depends on D1842 and D1843
