Crypto benchmarks: Zig vs Rust performance comparison.
Overview
Cryptographic performance benchmarks across Zig stdlib and Rust implementations with hardware acceleration.
Results
Run benchmarks to generate timestamped results in results/ directory:
zig build bench -- --save-results
Installation
Prerequisites
- Zig 0.14.1 or later
- Rust toolchain (for building the comparison library)
Build Instructions
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/zig-crypto-bench
cd zig-crypto-bench
zig build bench
Usage
# Run all benchmarks with default settings (500 iterations, 50 warmup)
zig build bench
# Save timestamped results to results/ directory for contribution
zig build bench -- --save-results
# Run with custom iteration counts
zig build bench -- --iterations 2000 --warmup 200
# Generate JSON output for analysis
zig build bench -- --json > results.json
# Filter specific tests by size
zig build bench -- --filter 1MB
# Combined: save results with custom settings
zig build bench -- --save-results --iterations 1000 --warmup 100
Features
- High-resolution platform-specific timers
- Adaptive iteration counts with auto-scaling for large inputs
- Warmup phase to stabilize CPU performance
- Auto-batching for accurate timing of fast operations
- Correctness verification via bitwise output comparison
- Transparent build configuration and optimization flags
- Statistical analysis
