# Benchmarks

The scripts used to produce [the performance report](../report/veld-benchmark-report.pdf)
([Markdown](../BENCHMARK_REPORT.md)). They use [`wrk`](https://github.com/wg/wrk) and assume
a test harness serving the same files from both servers.

| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `bench.sh [dur] [label] [reps]` | Throughput/latency, nginx (:8080) vs veld (:8081), interleaved peak-of-N |
| `resource.sh [dur] [file]` | CPU% and RSS of each server under identical load |
| `verify.sh` | Byte-level content integrity + header/304/206/HEAD checks |

**Methodology.** On a shared 8-core host, set **both** servers to `worker_processes 4`
so that 4 workers + `wrk -t4` saturate exactly 8 cores (no oversubscription), and take the
**peak of N interleaved runs** per case to suppress scheduling noise. See the report for the
full environment and results.

> These scripts reference a local test layout (ports 8080/8081, `/tmp/bench`). Adapt the
> paths/ports to your environment before running.
