This PR, a joint effort with @MisterDA, adds a very slightly modified version of @stedolan
markbench
micro-benchmark.This micro-benchmark was first used in ocaml/ocaml#10195 and then in ocaml/ocaml#11827 to validate prefetching speedup while the GC is tracing blocks.
It could be useful as a sort of regression test running in Sandmark.
It would be preferable to use the reported seconds/GC time as calculated by the benchmark, which is reported on
stdout
, since it avoids accounting for setup time.How could this could be achieved in Sandmark?
