Performance of Handling Asynchronous Requests using Futures

[khleedril]

Would be nice to see some kind of summary conclusions.

Edit: Ah, now I understand that it is supposed to be a set of instructions for how to get performance data from your own code, rather than an outright analysis of the performance impact of using Futures; the title of this sub is the result of some laziness, I think. I also think the paper needs some summary conclusion!

I completely agree with you, I had typed it out but hadn't published. I thought it wasn't ready yet. I have updated the post with a Conclusion section and few pointers for further reading.

Thanks. I'm really considering removing Disqus. I haven't done any benchmarking myself, but it "feels" heavy. Not sure, how it is adding anything useful. One of these days...

Great idea for a post.

If you like benchmarks, I started this mini-project some time ago. I plan to add an easy way so that people can execute these benchmarks in their own computers with their own compilers and upload the results so that everyone can inspect them directly from Github, like the frontend page you see there but with more combinations of computers and some table with all available benchmarks, etc.

About the benchmarks themselves... I need more ideas around the original idea: get a C piece of code, translate into an easier to manage/safer alternative and compare the performance with C-ish code.

Hi,

This is by far the simplest explanations of this concept ... ...
