# Performance
|
|
|
|
A test to benchmark the performance of this module relative to alternatives.
|
|
|
|
## The contenders
|
|
|
|
* [jimp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jimp) v0.16.1 - Image processing in pure JavaScript. Provides bicubic interpolation.
|
|
* [mapnik](https://www.npmjs.org/package/mapnik) v4.5.5 - Whilst primarily a map renderer, Mapnik contains bitmap image utilities.
|
|
* [imagemagick](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemagick) v0.1.3 - Supports filesystem only and "*has been unmaintained for a long time*".
|
|
* [gm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gm) v1.23.1 - Fully featured wrapper around GraphicsMagick's `gm` command line utility.
|
|
* sharp v0.27.0 / libvips v8.10.5 - Caching within libvips disabled to ensure a fair comparison.
|
|
|
|
## The task
|
|
|
|
Decompress a 2725x2225 JPEG image,
|
|
resize to 720x588 using Lanczos 3 resampling (where available),
|
|
then compress to JPEG at a "quality" setting of 80.
|
|
|
|
## Test environment
|
|
|
|
* AWS EC2 eu-west-1 [c5d.large](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/c5/) (2x Xeon Platinum 8275CL CPU @ 3.00GHz)
|
|
* Ubuntu 20.10 (ami-046cdbcee95cdd75c)
|
|
* Node.js v14.15.3
|
|

|
|
|
|
Greater libvips performance can be expected with caching enabled (default)
|
|
and using 4+ core machines, especially those with larger L1/L2 CPU caches.
|
|
|
|
The I/O limits of the relevant (de)compression library will generally determine maximum throughput.
|
|
|
|
## Running the benchmark test
|
|
|
|
Requires _ImageMagick_, _GraphicsMagick_ and _Mapnik_:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
brew install imagemagick
|
|
brew install graphicsmagick
|
|
brew install mapnik
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagick++-dev graphicsmagick libmapnik-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo yum install ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick-c++-devel GraphicsMagick mapnik-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/lovell/sharp.git
|
|
cd sharp
|
|
npm install
|
|
cd test/bench
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm test
|
|
```
