Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Description

The most high resolution timing in NodeJs

This module provide cross platform function rdtsc().

rdtsc() return counts the number of cycles since computer start

If you run in on Windows it will call C++ function __rdtsc() that call processor command RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter)

(rdtsc() - rdtsc()) is always < 0

Notice: you should not use parallel threads since you calc performance

Install

npm i rdtsc -S

Features

RDTSC

var { rdtsc } = require('rdtsc')
console.log(rdtsc()) // 3864063236708616 cycles
console.log(rdtsc() - rdtsc()) // -2971 cycles, minimum = -130 cycles

Calc Performance

Accuracy: +/- 4 cycles

Syntax

/*

calcPerformance(testTimeMilliseconds, ...funcs)

result = {
    calcInfo: { 
        iterationCycles: 413.22476287663505,
        iterations: 5622917,
        funcsCount: 3,
        testTime: 1000 // milliseconds
    },
    cycles: [ 54n, 54n, 55n ], // is BigInt
    absoluteDiff: [ 0, 0 ], // cycles[i] - cycles[0]
    relativeDiff: undefined, // absoluteDiff[i] / absoluteDiff[0]
}

*/

Examples

const { calcPerformance } = require('rdtsc')

calcPerformance(1000, () => {}, () => {}, () => {})

/*
result = {
    calcInfo: { 
        iterationCycles: 413.22476287663505,

        testTime: 1000 // milliseconds
    },
    cycles: [ 54n, 54n, 54n ],
    absoluteDiff: [ 0, 0 ],
    relativeDiff: undefined,

result = {
    ...
    cycles: [ 54n, 55n, 54n ],
    absoluteDiff: [ 1, 0 ],
    relativeDiff: [ 0 ],
}

OR

result = {
    ...
    cycles: [ 54n, 58n, 52n ],
    absoluteDiff: [ 4, -2 ],
    relativeDiff: [ -0.5 ],

*/

calcPerformance(1000, () => {})

/*

    ...
    cycles: [ 54n ],
    absoluteDiff: undefined,

*/
var { calcPerformance } = require('rdtsc')

var result = calcPerformance(
    1000,
    () => {

    },
    () => {
        Object.keys(Math)
    }
)

console.log('"Object.keys(Math)" min cycles =', result.absoluteDiff[0]) // about 20-40 cycles

Thread Priority

Implemented only for Windows platform

Examples


const { runInRealtimePriority, getThreadPriority, getProcessPriority } = require('rdtsc')

runInRealtimePriority(() => {
    console.log('getThreadPriority = ', getThreadPriority()) // === THREAD_PRIORITY_REALTIME
    console.log('getProcessPriority = ', getProcessPriority()) // === PROCESS_PRIORITY_REALTIME
})
const { setThreadPriority, getThreadPriority, isWin, THREAD_PRIORITY_REALTIME } = require('rdtsc')

if (isWin) {
    console.log(getThreadPriority()) // === THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL
} else {
    console.log(getThreadPriority()) // === undefined
}

var previousPriority = setThreadPriority(THREAD_PRIORITY_REALTIME)

try {
    // <your code>
} finally {
    setThreadPriority(previousPriority)
}

Priorities list

/*

const THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE = -15
const THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST = -2
const THREAD_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL = -1
const THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL = 0
const THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL = 1
const THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST = 2
const THREAD_PRIORITY_REALTIME = 15 // THREAD_PRIORITY_REALTIME

*/

Process Priority

Implemented only for Windows platform

Example

const { setProcessPriority, getProcessPriority, isWin, PROCESS_PRIORITY_REALTIME } = require('rdtsc')

if (isWin) {

}

var previousPriority = setProcessPriority(PROCESS_PRIORITY_REALTIME)

try {
    // <your code>
} finally {

Priorities list

/*

const PROCESS_PRIORITY_IDLE = 0x00000040 // IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS
const PROCESS_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL = 0x00004000 // BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS
const PROCESS_PRIORITY_NORMAL = 0x00000020 // NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS
const PROCESS_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL = 0x00008000 // ABOVE_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS
const PROCESS_PRIORITY_HIGHEST = 0x00000080 // HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS
const PROCESS_PRIORITY_REALTIME = 0x00000100 // REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS
