This release focuses on reducing the noise from the system (#143, #144).
For this purpose, it introduces the rebench-denoise tool, which will adapt
system parameters to:

  • change CPU governor to the performance setting
  • disables turbo boost
  • reduces the sampling frequency allowed by the kernel
  • execute benchmarks with CPU shielding and nice -n-20

rebench-denoise can also be used as stand-alone tool, is documented here:
https://rebench.readthedocs.io/en/latest/denoise/

The use of rebench-denoise will require root rights.

Other new features include:

  • add support for configuring environment variables (#174)
  • add support for recording profiling information (#190)
  • add support for printing the execution plan without running it (#171)
  • add marker in configuration to make setting important, which overrides
    previous settings, giving more flexibility in composing
    configuration values (#170)
  • add support for filtering experiments by machines (#161)

Thanks to @tobega, @qinsoon, @cmccandless, @OctaveLarose, and @raehik for their contributions.

Other notable improvements:

  • -R now disables data reporting, replacing the previous -S (#145)
  • added support to report experiment completion to ReBenchDB (#149)
  • fixed JMH support (#147)
  • fixed string/byte encoding issues between Python 2 and 3 (#142)
  • updated py-cpuinfo (#137, #138, #141)
  • allow the use of float values in the ReBenchLogAdapter parser (#201)
  • make gauge adapter names in configurations case-insensitive (#202)
  • improve documentation (#197, #198)
  • use PyTest for unit tests (#192)
