<h2 id="benchmark-legacy">Legacy Benchmarking tool</h2>

SLEEF has a tool for measuring and plotting execution time of each function in
the library. It consists of an executable for measurements, a makefile for
driving measurement and plotting, and a couple of scripts.

In order to start a measurement, you need to first build the executable for
measurement. CMake builds the executable along with the library. Please refer
to [compiling and installing the library](../1-user-guide) for this.

Then, change directory to `sleef/src/libm-benchmarks/`. You also need to set
the build directory to `BUILDDIR` environment variable. You also need Java
runtime environment.

```sh
export BUILDDIR=$PATH:`pwd`/../../build
```

Type "make measure". After compiling the tools, it will prompt a label for
measurement. After you input a label, measurement begins. After a measurement
finishes, you can repeat measurements under different configurations. If you
want to measure on a different computer, please copy the entire directory on to
that computer and continue measurements. If you have Intel Compiler installed
on your computer, you can type "make measureSVML" to measure the computation
time of SVML functions.

```sh
make measure
./measure.sh benchsleef
...
Enter label of measurement(e.g. My desktop PC) : Skylake
Measurement in progress. This may take several minutes.
Sleef_sind2_u10
Sleef_cosd2_u10
Sleef_tand2_u10
Sleef_sincosd2_u10
...
Sleef_atanf8_u10
Sleef_atan2f8_u10
Sleef_atanf8_u35
Sleef_atan2f8_u35

Now, you can plot the results of measurement by 'make plot'.
You can do another measurement by 'make measure'.
You can start over by 'make restart'.
```

Then type `make plot` to generate graphs.
```sh
make plot
javac ProcessData.java
java ProcessData *dptrig*.out
gnuplot script.out
mv output.png trigdp.png
java ProcessData *dpnontrig*.out
gnuplot script.out
mv output.png nontrigdp.png
java ProcessData *sptrig*.out
gnuplot script.out
mv output.png trigsp.png
java ProcessData *spnontrig*.out
gnuplot script.out
mv output.png nontrigsp.png
```

You need to have JDK and gnuplot installed on your computer.
Install these with:
```sh
sudo apt install openjdk-19-jdk-headless
```
and
```sh
sudo apt install gnuplot
```

Four graphs are generated : trigdp.png, nontrigdp.png, trigsp.png
and nontrigsp.png. Please see our [benchmark results](../5-performance/) for
an example of generated graphs by this tool.
