• Compile protos with ./tool/compile_protos.sh

• JIT: Run benchmark programs in bin/, e.g. dart bin/from_binary.dart

• AOT and JS:

  • Compile benchmark programs to native, JS, and JIT snapshots with ./tool/compile_benchmarks.dart

  • Run benchmark programs in out/:

    • AOT: ./out/from_binary.exe
    • JS: d8 $DART_SDK/lib/_internal/js_runtime/lib/preambles/d8.js out/from_binary.js

• Wasm:

  • Get the Dart SDK source code following instructions here, and build dart2wasm_platform target with tools/build.py -m release dart2wasm_platform.

  • Make sure $DART_SDK environment variable set to the path of Dart SDK's "sdk" directory.

  • Compile benchmarks with ./tool/compile_benchmarks.dart --target=<target> where <target> is one of:

    • wasm: Default optimized build
    • wasm-omit-checks: Optimized build with --omit-checks

  • Run with: $DART_SDK/bin/run_dart2wasm_d8 out/from_binary.wasm, or use .omit-checks.wasm extension for the wasm-omit-checks target: from_binary.omit-checks.wasm.

protoc_version file specifies the version of protoc Golem will use when building the benchmarks, and allows updating the protoc version without changing Golem.
