String Concatenation
This benchmark evaluates the performance of string concatenation using the + operator, the bytes.Buffer and the strings.Builder when
building a 1,000 character string. The implementations using the bytes.Buffer and the strings.Builder are the fastest.
package main
import (
"bytes"
"strings"
"testing"
)
var strLen int = 1000
func BenchmarkConcatString(b *testing.B) {
var str string
i := 0
b.ResetTimer()
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
str += "x"
i++
if i >= strLen {
i = 0
str = ""
}
}
}
func BenchmarkConcatBuffer(b *testing.B) {
var buffer bytes.Buffer
i := 0
b.ResetTimer()
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
buffer.WriteString("x")
i++
if i >= strLen {
i = 0
buffer = bytes.Buffer{}
}
}
}
func BenchmarkConcatBuilder(b *testing.B) {
var builder strings.Builder
i := 0
b.ResetTimer()
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
builder.WriteString("x")
i++
if i >= strLen {
i = 0
builder = strings.Builder{}
}
}
}

Numeric Conversions
This benchmark evaluates the performance of parsing strings to bool, int64 and float64 types using the Go strconv package.
package main
import (
"strconv"
"testing"
)
func BenchmarkParseBool(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
_, err := strconv.ParseBool("true")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
}
func BenchmarkParseInt(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
_, err := strconv.ParseInt("7182818284", 10, 64)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
}
func BenchmarkParseFloat(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
_, err := strconv.ParseFloat("3.1415926535", 64)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
}

BenchmarkParseFloat-4 50,000,000 40 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
Regular Expressions
This benchmark evaluates the performance of regular expression matching using the Go regexp package for compiled and uncompiled regular expressions. The example uses a simple email validation regexp. As expected, the compiled regexp matching is much faster.
package main
import (
"regexp"
"testing"
)
var testRegexp string = `^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]+$`
func BenchmarkMatchString(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
_, err := regexp.MatchString(testRegexp, "jsmith@example.com")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
}
func BenchmarkMatchStringCompiled(b *testing.B) {
r, err := regexp.Compile(testRegexp)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
b.ResetTimer()
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
r.MatchString("jsmith@example.com")
}
}
$ go test -bench=. -benchmem

BenchmarkMatchStringCompiled-4 2,000,000 843 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
Sorting
This benchmark evaluates the performance of sorting 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 and 1,000,000 int elements using built-in sorting algorithm of the Go sort package. The time complexity is documented
to be O(n*log(n)), which can be observed in the results.
package main
import (
"math/rand"
"sort"
"testing"
)
func generateSlice(n int) []int {
s := make([]int, 0, n)
for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
s = append(s, rand.Intn(1e9))
}
return s
}
func BenchmarkSort1000(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
b.StopTimer()
s := generateSlice(1000)
b.StartTimer()
sort.Ints(s)
}
}
func BenchmarkSort10000(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
b.StopTimer()
s := generateSlice(10000)
b.StartTimer()
sort.Ints(s)
}
}
func BenchmarkSort100000(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
b.StopTimer()
s := generateSlice(100000)
b.StartTimer()
sort.Ints(s)
}
}
func BenchmarkSort1000000(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
b.StopTimer()
s := generateSlice(1000000)
b.StartTimer()
sort.Ints(s)
}
}

Random Numbers
This benchmark compares the performance of pseudorandom number generation using the Go math/rand and crypto/rand packages. The random number generation
with the math/rand package is considerably faster than cryptographically secure random number generation with the crypto/rand package.
package main
import (

"math/big"
"math/rand"
"testing"
)
func BenchmarkMathRand(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {

}
}
func BenchmarkCryptoRand(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
_, err := crand.Int(crand.Reader, big.NewInt(27))
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
}

Random Strings
This benchmark compares the performance of 16-character, uniformly distributed random string generation based on the Go math/rand and crypto/rand. The
random string generation with the math/rand package is faster than cryptographically secure random string generation with the crypto/rand package.
package main
import (
crand "crypto/rand"
"math/rand"
"testing"
)
// 64 letters
const letters = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz+/"

}
return string(bytes)
}
func BenchmarkMathRandString(b *testing.B) {

randomString(randomBytes(16))
}
}
func BenchmarkCryptoRandString(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
randomString(cryptoRandomBytes(16))
}
}

package main
import (

)
var numItems int = 1000000
func BenchmarkSliceAppend(b *testing.B) {
s := make([]byte, 0)
i := 0
b.ResetTimer()
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
s = append(s, 1)
i++
if i == numItems {
b.StopTimer()
i = 0
s = make([]byte, 0)
b.StartTimer()
}
}
}
func BenchmarkSliceAppendPrealloc(b *testing.B) {
s := make([]byte, 0, numItems)
i := 0
b.ResetTimer()
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
s = append(s, 1)
i++
if i == numItems {
b.StopTimer()
i = 0
s = make([]byte, 0, numItems)
