Walkthrough

The change adds real-package and multi-platform benchmark runners for seven solvers. It records solver metrics in JSON files and generates a Markdown report with aggregate rankings, platform details, and dependency analysis.

Changes

Solver benchmarking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Real package benchmark flow
benchmark_runner.py
Parses nixpkgs and Nix store packages, resolves dependencies, runs registered solvers, computes metrics, prints results, and writes JSON output.
Multi-platform benchmark execution
full_benchmark_runner.py
Defines five platform datasets, runs solvers with per-platform status handling, computes aggregate rankings, and writes full results.
Benchmark result and report artifacts
benchmark_results.json, full_benchmark_results.json, publish_report.py, BENCHMARK_REPORT.md
Stores benchmark results and generates a Markdown report with solver comparisons, rankings, platform details, and dependency analysis.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to af922

This adds benchmark runners and published solver rankings, but the current implementation can produce misleading dependency, correctness, selection, and speed results and 8000 cannot run from a normal checkout. Resolve these issues before relying on or merging the benchmark artifacts.

105-105: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Apply max_packages across both input sources.

Each source can add up to max_packages entries. The generated benchmark_results.json already reports 51 input packages for a limit of 50. run_benchmark then solves only the first 50 but reports the larger input count. This also permits a 100% selection rate for only 50 of 51 reported packages. Cap the combined list before scoring, or base all metrics on the exact candidate slice.

Query dependencies with the complete Nix store path.

pkg.name is an attribute name or a store name with its version removed. Line 70 then queries a path such as /nix/store/foo, not an existing <hash>-<name>-<version> store path. The command returns nonzero and the exception-free failure is ignored, so this benchmark records no real dependencies. Preserve the full store path and use it for nix-store -qR.

Remove the duplicate NixOS gcc record.

This is the second gcc entry in the first 50 NixOS records. encode_packages deduplicates package names, but total_packages, selection rate, and selected-package counts use the list length. The NixOS benchmark therefore compares 50 listed records with 49 constraint nodes. Keep one complete gcc definition.

394-399: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not penalize dependencies that were not encoded.

encode_packages only creates a dependency constraint when the dependency is also in the input package set. These loops count every declared dependency instead. For example, the Debian data declares dependencies that have no package record, so every solver receives unmet-dependency penalties for constraints it never received. Add the dependency closure to each dataset, or score only dependencies present in constraints.packages.

  • full_benchmark_runner.py#L394-L399: count only encoded dependencies, or reject incomplete platform datasets before solver execution.
  • benchmark_runner.py#L146-L150: apply the same scoring rule to the real-package benchmark.

Rank solvers from unrounded elapsed time.

Both runners round elapsed time to four decimals before selecting the fastest solver and before computing averages. Different measurements can become equal after rounding, and dictionary insertion order then selects the reported winner. Keep raw elapsed values for rankings and aggregation. Round only when formatting output.

  • full_benchmark_runner.py#L403-L403: retain raw elapsed time for platform and overall rankings.
  • benchmark_runner.py#L154-L154: retain raw elapsed time for the single-platform ranking.

Remove machine-specific benchmark paths.

These paths require /home/domini/package-maximizer to exist. The runners fail when writing results from another checkout, and publish_report.py cannot read those results. Derive a repository-local path from __file__, or provide explicit input and output CLI arguments.

  • full_benchmark_runner.py#L496-L498: write results to a configurable or repository-local output path.
  • benchmark_runner.py#L265-L267: use the same output-path policy.
  • publish_report.py#L4-L4: read the configurable or repository-local result path.
