Benchmark

To benchmark our implementation of a Variability4TOSCA processor, we run several tests. Thereby, a service template is generated and then resolved based on a seed. A seed of value n results in 2n node templates and 2n relationship templates, thus, 4n templates. For example, a seed of 10.000 generates 20.0000 node templates and 20.0000 relationship templates. When variability is resolved, n node templates and n relationship templates are removed. An concrete example is given below.

Tests In-Memory

The first test suite runs the tests in-memory. Thus, generated and resolved service templates are not read or stored to the filesystem.

Test Seed Templates Median Median per Template
1 10 40 37.918 ms 0.948 ms
2 250 1,000 38.578 ms 0.039 ms
3 500 2,000 71.489 ms 0.036 ms
4 1,000 4,000 136.850 ms 0.034 ms
5 2,500 10,000 334.963 ms 0.033 ms
6 5,000 20,000 669.432 ms 0.033 ms
7 10,000 40,000 1.365 s 0.034 ms

Tests with Filesystem

The second test suite runs the tests with filesystem interaction. Thus, generated and resolved service templates are also read and stored to the filesystem.

Test Seed Templates Median Median per Template
1 10 40 5.992 ms 0.150 ms
2 250 1,000 48.485 ms 0.048 ms
3 500 2,000 94.863 ms 0.047 ms
4 1,000 4,000 182.193 ms 0.046 ms
5 2,500 10,000 463.675 ms 0.046 ms
6 5,000 20,000 955.071 ms 0.048 ms
7 10,000 40,000 1.997 s 0.050 ms
