How to run benchmarks?

[DaniruKun]

Describe the question
I have tried following the exact instructions in the benchmarks subdirectory, but running the tests always fails.
Could you please provide up-to-date instructions on how to setup an environment for benchmarks?

Versions:

• OS: macOS 12.5 21G72 x86_64
• Erlang:Erlang/OTP 25 [erts-13.0.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:16:16] [ds:16:16:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]

Elixir 1.13.3 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 25)

• Elixir:
• mix.lock(grpc, gun, cowboy, cowlib):

I think we're gonna need @tony612's input here. The fork is based on a really outdated version of grpc, and what fails (at least for me) is some part of the build process. There aren't many additions, but we need a commit updating the fork.

Additions in question: grpc/grpc@master...tony612:grpc:elixir-bench

Alternatively, we could find a way to call the benchmark as a library instead and have this custom code as part of this repo.

grpc's benchmark is complex and it may change as time goes by, so it's not strange to see the failing. I think we need to revisit the benchmarks and lots of code may need to be changed. It will be better if we can find a way to not fork grpc/grpc.
