๐ฅ An easy way to calculate the 'impact' of running a task in Node.JS
Coded with โค๏ธ by Simone Primarosa.
Runs a script and profiles its execution time, CPU usage, and memory usage returning an average of all results.
Do you believe that this is useful?
Has it saved you time?
Or maybe you simply like it?
If so, show your appreciation with a Star โญ๏ธ.
sympact spawns a separate process and runs your script in an isolated node process and then collects statistics about the system's resource used by your script.
The data are collected using pidusage in combination with
pidtree.
The main difference between other projects is that sympact will also
"profile" processes spawned by your script or by any of its children.
Finally a report of the samples taken is computed and returned to you.
npm install --save sympact
const impact = require('sympact');
const report = await impact(`
let r = 2;
let c = 10e7;
while (c--) r = Math.pow(r, r);
return r;
`, {interval: 125}); // 125 ms of sampling rate
console.log(report.times.execution.end - report.times.execution.start);
// => 2700 ms
console.log(report.stats.cpu.mean);
// => 90.45 % on my machine
console.log(report.stats.memory.mean);
// => 27903317.33 bytes on my machine
To make it more usable a CLI is bundled with the package allowing you to nicely display the report.
npx sympact "console.log('Hello World')"
You can even require other files.
npx sympact "
const {spawn} = require('child_process');
let childno = 10;
let childs = [];
for (let i = 0; i < childno; i++) {
childs.push(spawn('node', ['-e', 'setInterval(()=>{let c=10e3;while(c--);},10)']));
}
let c = 10e6;
let m = {};
while (c--) m[c] = c;
for (let i = 0; i < childno; i++) {
childs[i].kill();
}
"
The object returned by the promise will look like this.
