PiBench Online

What is PiBench Online?

PiBench Online is an interactive system for benchmarking PM indexes in a fair and reproducible manner, it is based on PiBench, the first unified, highly customizable benchmarking framework for PM indexes.

PiBench Online enables push-button evaluation of PM indexes: the user can upload a shared library that implements the index, set parameters to run customized benchmarks, and analyze results interactively, all through an easy-to-use web interface. We hope it can promote fair comparison and reproducibility in future PM index research

Check out a demo video here and try it out at http://pibench.org. Use the code in this repo to deploy your own.

Deploy your own instance

Pibench Online allows you to deploy a server instance on your own machine and connect it with the pibench online web interface (http://pibench.org).

You can either clone the code and build from source (see below), or simply use our official docker image.

Docker

# 1. Pull the pibench-online image from docker hub
# 2. connect the host's port 8000 with container's port 8000
#    so users can access the web api from host's 8000 port
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 pibench-online:latest

Bare metal

cargo run --release

Contribution

Backend

The backend server requires rust nightly, which you can install from rustup

When rust toolchain is properly setup, building pibench online is as simple as:

cargo build [--release]

Frontend

The PiBench Online frontend requires nodejs and the yarn package manager.

You also need to be familiar with Vue.js and ElementUI as well as Echarts.js.

Project setup

yarn install
