wolfCrypt Benchmarks

Tool for performing cryptographic algorithm benchmarking.

Measurements

Symmetric algorithms like AES and ChaCha20 are measured in Killobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB) per second.
Asymmetric algorithms like RSA and ECC are measured using Operations Per Second (Ops) per second.

Compile Options

Compile with the following options for fixed units. Otherwise the units will auto-scale. See -base10 parameter option, below.

-DWOLFSSL_BENCHMARK_FIXED_UNITS_GB for GB/GiB
-DWOLFSSL_BENCHMARK_FIXED_UNITS_MB for MB/MiB
-DWOLFSSL_BENCHMARK_FIXED_UNITS_KB for KB/KiB
-DWOLFSSL_BENCHMARK_FIXED_UNITS_B for Bytes

To set the output to always be CSV:

-DWOLFSSL_BENCHMARK_FIXED_CSV

Windows Visual Studio

For building wolfCrypt Benchmark project in Visual Studio open the benchmark.sln. For newer Visual Studio version it may prompt for a one-way upgrade. If prompted to overwrite the benchmark.vcxproj project, select "No". Then you may have to right-click on the solution and choose Retarget solution to update the project files for your Visual Studio version.

If you see an error about rc.exe then you'll need to update the "Target Platform Version". You can do this by right-clicking on the benchmark project -> General -> "Target Platform Version" and changing to 8.1 (needs to match the wolfssl library project).

This solution includes the wolfSSL library project at <wolfssl-root>wolfssl.vcxproj and will compile the library, then the benchmark project.
