#!/usr/bin/env Rscript # # Throughput benchmark for the Wickra R bindings. # # Measures how many indicator updates per second the R binding sustains, both # per-tick (streaming `update`) and bulk (`batch`), over a synthetic OHLCV # series. It is the R counterpart of the Node `throughput.js` and the Rust # criterion benches: it benchmarks Wickra's own O(1) streaming engine across # the R<->C-ABI boundary (there is no comparable streaming TA library on CRAN # to compare against), so the headline number is raw per-binding throughput / # FFI overhead, not a cross-library ratio. # # Three indicators are timed, chosen by FFI call-signature archetype rather # than algorithm: SMA (1-in -> 1-out), ATR (multi-in -> 1-out), and MACD # (1-in -> multi-out). Streaming is timed for all three; batch only for the # single-output SMA and ATR (multi-output batch is not exposed uniformly). # # Install the package first (it links the C ABI; see bindings/r/README.md), # then run: # # Rscript bindings/r/benchmarks/throughput.R # 200k bars (default) # Rscript bindings/r/benchmarks/throughput.R --bars 1000000 suppressMessages(library(wickra)) parse_bars <- function() { args <- commandArgs(trailingOnly = TRUE) i <- match("--bars", args) if (!is.na(i) && length(args) >= i + 1L) { n <- suppressWarnings(as.integer(args[i + 1L])) if (!is.na(n) && n >= 1000L) { return(n) } stop("--bars must be an integer >= 1000") } 200000L } bars <- parse_bars() # Deterministic synthetic OHLCV (no RNG, so runs are comparable). idx <- seq.int(0L, bars - 1L) mid <- 100 + sin(idx * 0.001) * 20 + idx * 1e-4 close <- mid + sin(idx * 0.05) * 2 high <- pmax(close, mid) + 1.5 low <- pmin(close, mid) - 1.5 open <- mid volume <- 1000 + (idx %% 97L) * 13 # `numeric` (double), not integer: the candle batch path coerces the timestamp # column with REAL(), which rejects an integer vector. timestamp <- as.numeric(idx) # Median elapsed-ns over a few repetitions, after one warmup pass. time_ns <- function(fn, reps = 3L) { fn() # warmup samples <- numeric(reps) for (r in seq_len(reps)) { t0 <- Sys.time() fn() samples[r] <- as.numeric(Sys.time() - t0, units = "secs") * 1e9 } median(samples) } mups_from_ns <- function(ns) bars / (ns / 1e9) / 1e6 # SMA (scalar 1-in/1-out), ATR (multi-in/1-out), MACD (1-in/multi-out). indicators <- list( list( name = "SMA(20)", stream = function() { ind <- Sma(20) for (i in seq_len(bars)) update(ind, close[i]) }, batch = function() { batch(Sma(20), close) } ), list( name = "ATR(14)", stream = function() { ind <- Atr(14) for (i in seq_len(bars)) { update(ind, open[i], high[i], low[i], close[i], volume[i], timestamp[i]) } }, batch = function() { batch(Atr(14), open, high, low, close, volume, timestamp) } ), list( name = "MACD(12,26,9)", stream = function() { ind <- MacdIndicator(12, 26, 9) for (i in seq_len(bars)) update(ind, close[i]) }, batch = NULL # multi-output: streaming only ) ) cat(sprintf( "Wickra R throughput - %s bars (median of 3 runs)\n\n", format(bars, big.mark = ",") )) cat(sprintf("%-22s%20s%18s\n", "Indicator", "streaming (Mupd/s)", "batch (Mupd/s)")) cat(strrep("-", 60), "\n", sep = "") for (ind in indicators) { stream_mups <- sprintf("%.1f", mups_from_ns(time_ns(ind$stream))) batch_mups <- if (is.null(ind$batch)) "-" else sprintf("%.1f", mups_from_ns(time_ns(ind$batch))) cat(sprintf("%-22s%20s%18s\n", ind$name, stream_mups, batch_mups)) } cat(paste0( "\nMupd/s = million indicator updates per second.
