I periodically benchmark my computer systems in terms of their ability to carry out data analysis and related tasks in R. To do this I use the R benchmarkme
package and I persist each set of results to a file (.rds
to retain R class attribute) for posterity. I also log the run here at this very Gist.
I use the run_mark.R function, which I wrote based loosely on suggestions in the benchmarkme
vignette, to do the benchmark tests and afterparty.
