Divan Bench Tools

Getting Started

This repository provides two Python scripts for processing and comparing Divan benchmark results. They are designed to detect performance regressions and generate human-readable reports.

Scripts

parse_divan.py

Converts Divan's tree-table benchmark output to JSON format for further processing.

# From a file
./parse_divan.py bench_output.txt -o results.json

# From stdin
cargo bench 2>&1 | ./parse_divan.py - -o results.json

The output JSON contains an array of benchmark results, each with name, fastest, slowest, median, mean, samples, and iters fields.

compare_divan.py

Compares two JSON benchmark files (base vs PR) and generates a markdown report with performance change indicators.

./compare_divan.py base.json pr.json --title "Benchmark Results" -o report.md

Options:

• --metric: Metric to compare (fastest, slowest, median, mean; default: mean)
• --improvement-threshold: Threshold for improvement detection (default: 1%)
• --warn-threshold: Threshold for warning indicator (default: 5.0%)
• --error-threshold: Threshold for regression indicator (default: 10.0%)
• --subtitle: Optional subtitle displayed below the title
