   3 Welcome to poolifier benchmarks and thanks to look into this project.

   5 ## Folder Structure
   6
   7 The [internal](./internal) folder contains poolifier internal benchmark.

   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   - [nanothreads](https://github.com/snuffyDev/nanothreads)
  21
  22   Those are our results:
  23
  24   - CPU Intensive task with 100k operations submitted to each pool: [https://bencher.dev/perf/poolifier-benchmark](https://bencher.dev/perf/poolifier-benchmark).
  25
  26 - External pools with which we used to compare the poolifier results:
  27
  28   - [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.
  29   - [worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/watson/worker-threads-pool): removed because unmaintained since more than 4 years.
  30   - [threadwork](https://github.com/kevlened/threadwork): removed because unmaintained since more than 3 years.
  31   - [microjob](https://github.com/wilk/microjob): removed because unmaintained since more than 5 years.
  32   - [threads.js](https://github.com/andywer/threads.js): removed because not a threads pool.
