Hi Jon,
As part of the initial set of benchmarks we hope to add as part of this
JEP I'm guessing it will be around 200-300 files. This would grow
overtime, but I believe we won't see tens of thousands of files, it is
more likely it will be something like a 1000 files.

Staffan,
I would also ask how many files are eventually likely to be involved.
If it's tens of files up to low hundreds, then a top level dir makes
sense.
If it's tens of thousands of files, then a separate repo makes more
sense.

Hi Chris,
Agree, there is no major reason this needs to be a new repository, as
I mentioned in the 3 options below it would work well without it. The
main thing I want to achieve is that the benchmarks are located on
the top level. The suite will contain benchmarks for all parts of the
JDK so having it in either jdk or hotspot doesn't feel like it makes
sense. If people agree on having it as folder in the top level JDK
repository I'm perfectly fine with that.
As for building it will most likely not be of the general build
process for building the JDK (do not want to increase the compilation
time for anyone not requiring the benchmark suite). It would have its
own target 'build-microbenchmark' which would depend on
'exploded-image', but not the reverse.

Staffan,
Having all the benchmarks located in a single place makes sense to
me, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that they need their own
repository, in the forest.
If I can build, run, and test ( usual development cycle ) without
any dependency on these benchmarks, or their infrastructure,
essential working with a partial forest ( without the ‘benchmark’
repository ), then I can see the possible value in having a separate
repository ( so I can skip cloning and updating it ). But, I’m not
sure if that is a reasonable justification for a new repository, as
it is probably at odds with your goals, or maybe not?

Hi,
(Adding the jdk9-dev list to increase the visibility of the
discussion)
With the multiple sub-repository commit mechanism improved I
believe this might be less of an issue. JPRT can push JDK and HS
changes at together and the same functionality should be possible
to use for this as well. I wonder if the test issue earlier was
that it was a completely separate repository outside of the JDK
forest, and less of an issue when being part of the same forest as
the JDK source code. Perhaps someone from SQE can chime?
Otherwise the main reason for having a separate sub-repository on
the top level is making it easier to find what benchmarks are
available and have a single place to add new once avoid any risk of
name duplication. JMH is superb in filtering during execution
during runtime so running just a single test or a group of tests is
very straight forward and the recommended way, rather than having
multiple benchmark JARs. It also makes the build process easier as
the building can be done using a single Makefile and a single
benchmark JAR (actually two, one for JDK 8 compatible tests and one
for JDK 9) that can be picked up by automatic performance testing.
Cheers,
Staffan

Hi Staffan,
An earlier issue was keeping tests in sync with the code under
test, hence
the use of test directories within each repository.
I think a structure in which the benchmarks for some function and
the function
itself are in the same repository that is easier to understand and
maintain.

Hi,
Hopefully this is the right list for this discussion.
As part of adding Microbenchmarks to the OpenJDK source tree, I'm
trying to understand how we best would add the benchmark sources
to the existing OpenJDK tree structure.
Since the microbenchmark suite will cover all parts of the JDK,
covering HotSpot, JDK libraries and Nashorn, it would be
preferred to add the microbenchmark directory as a new top level
directory. Something similar to the following structure. Having
"benchmark" as the top-level directory would allow us to later
add different types of benchmarks without colliding with the
microbenchmark suite.
<openjdk-root>/
benchmark/microbenchmark/...
hotspot/...
jdk/...
nashorn/...
With this as the premise I can see the following 3 options for
how this could be added to the source code layout
1. Part of jdk-root repository
* Only makes sense if we want to move in a direction with fewer
trees (and eventually a single tree)
2. Part of another already existing tree
* Not sure if this is possible without converting and moving
the
directory to a subdirectory of that tree
3. New tree in the forest/tree structure
* Most logical option as it follows the current setup and
structure
Anyone have any comments and/or concerns on the suggested
directory location and the tree structure in option 3.
Would the build-dev team be the right group to later help setup a
new tree if decided to be the right way to go?

Staffan
