Ursa Speed is a microbenchmark for the Hyperledger Ursa libursa library.
This microbenchmark is intended to run microbenchmarks for popular crypto algorithms in libursa. For easy comparison, the tests and output are similar to the "openssl speed" microbenchmark. A microbenchmark is intended only to measure crypto performance, so has no network or disk I/O overhead.
Initially only SHA-2 algorithms are being benchmarked (SHA-256 and SHA-512). SHA-384 is omitted because it's basically the same as SHA-512 in terms of performance.
In the future, I may add tests for signing and signature verification.
This benchmark assumes the ursa repository is installed and built in the parent library, ../ursa. To download and build, type:
git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/ursa
# Since Ursa API has changed, the code works with commit d7ac9e92d4f76cd2b68c974031e4e894200dc4bf
git checkout d7ac9e92d4f76cd2b68c974031e4e894200dc4bf
cd ursa/libursa
cargo build --release
This builds libursa.so in "secure" mode (with C/Rust optimizations). For more information on Ursa, see https://github.com/hyperledger/ursa/blob/master/README.md and https://www.hyperledger.org/projects/ursa
Ursa, in turn, currently requires libsodium. To install, type
apt install libsodium-dev
To build and run, type
cargo build --release
To run the libursa and openssl microbenchmarks, type:
target/debug/crypto-speed
openssl speed sha256 sha512
cpuid | egrep -i 'brand =|avx:|avx2:|avx512f:' | sort -u
To display usage, type:
$ target/debug/crypto-speed -h
