| 2 | |
| 3 | Welcome to poolifier benchmarks and thanks to look into this project. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Folder Structure |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The [internal](./internal) folder contains poolifier internal benchmark. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ## Poolifier benchmark versus other worker pools |
| 10 | |
| 11 | To compare poolifier pools performance vs other pools performance we chose to use [hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine). |
| 12 | We chose to use this tool because it allows to run isolated Node.js processes so each pool does not impact each other. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | - External pools with which we compare the poolifier results: |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - [piscina](https://github.com/piscinajs/piscina) |
| 17 | - [tinypool](https://github.com/tinylibs/tinypool) |
| 18 | - [workerpool](https://github.com/josdejong/workerpool) |
| 19 | - [worker-nodes](https://github.com/allegro/node-worker-nodes) |
| 20 | - [node-worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/SUCHMOKUO/node-worker-threads-pool) |
| 21 | - [nanothreads](https://github.com/snuffyDev/nanothreads) |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Those are our results: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | - CPU Intensive task with 100k operations submitted to each pool: [https://poolifier.github.io/benchmark](https://poolifier.github.io/benchmark). |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - External pools with which we used to compare the poolifier results: |
| 28 | |
| 29 | <!-- - [node-worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/SUCHMOKUO/node-worker-threads-pool): removed because it does not support dynamic modules import or import outside the task function. The task function is expected to be self-contained, which makes it difficult to use in real world application without ugly hacks. --> |
| 30 | |
| 31 | - [worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/watson/worker-threads-pool): removed because unmaintained since more than 4 years. |
| 32 | - [threadwork](https://github.com/kevlened/threadwork): removed because unmaintained since more than 3 years. |
| 33 | - [microjob](https://github.com/wilk/microjob): removed because unmaintained since more than 5 years. |
| 34 | - [threads.js](https://github.com/andywer/threads.js): removed because not a threads pool. |

| 36 | > :warning: **We would need funds to run our benchmark more often and on Cloud VMs, please consider to sponsor this project** |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Read the [README.md](https://github.com/poolifier/benchmark#readme) to know how to run the benchmark. |

| 40 | ## Poolifier internal benchmark |
| 41 | |
| 42 | ### Usage |
| 43 | |
| 44 | To run the internal benchmark, you just need to navigate to the root of poolifier cloned repository and run `pnpm benchmark`. |
