Motivation:
NetUtilBenchmark is using out of date data, throws an exception in the benchmark, and allocates a Set on each run.
Modifications:
- Update the benchmark and reduce each run's overhead
Result:
NetUtilBenchmark is updated.
Motivation:
IPv4/6 validation methods use allocations, which can be avoided.
IPv4 parse method use StringTokenizer.
Modifications:
Rewriting IPv4/6 validation methods to avoid allocations.
Rewriting IPv4 parse method without use StringTokenizer.
Result:
IPv4/6 validation and IPv4 parsing faster up to 2-10x.
Motivation:
PlatformDependent attempts to use reflection to get the underlying char[] (or byte[]) from String objects. This is fragile as if the String implementation does not utilize the full array, and instead uses a subset of the array, this optimization is invalid. OpenJDK6 and some earlier versions of OpenJDK7 String have the capability to use a subsection of the underlying char[].
Modifications:
- PlatformDependent should not attempt to use the underlying array from String (or other data types) via reflection
Result:
PlatformDependent hash code generation for CharSequence does not depend upon specific JDK implementation details.
Motivation:
It is good to have used dependencies and plugins up-to-date to fix any undiscovered bug fixed by the authors.
Modification:
Scanned dependencies and plugins and carefully updated one by one.
Result:
Dependencies and plugins are up-to-date.
Motivation:
KObjectHashMap.probeNext(..) usually involves 2 conditional statements and 2 aritmatic operations. This can be improved to have 0 conditional statements.
Modifications:
- Use bit masking to avoid conditional statements
Result:
Improved performance for KObjecthashMap.probeNext(..)
Motivation:
The AsciiString.hashCode() method can be optimized. This method is frequently used while to build the DefaultHeaders data structure.
Modification:
- Add a PlatformDependent hashCode algorithm which utilizes UNSAFE if available
Result:
AsciiString hashCode is faster.
Motivation:
The HttpObjectDecoder is on the hot code path for the http codec. There are a few hot methods which can be modified to improve performance.
Modifications:
- Modify AppendableCharSequence to provide unsafe methods which don't need to re-check bounds for every call.
- Update HttpObjectDecoder methods to take advantage of new AppendableCharSequence methods.
Result:
Peformance boost for decoding http objects.
Motivation:
Allows for running benchmarks from built jars which is useful in development environments that only take released artifacts.
Modifications:
Move benchmarks into 'main' from 'test'
Add @State annotations to benchmarks that are missing them
Fix timing issue grabbing context during channel initialization
Result:
Users can run benchmarks more easily.
