Benchmarks — Python

3-panel dashboard of Y Line, X Bar and Datagrid: Y Line chart of Time (ms), grouped by version, split by benchmark, filtered to outlier == false, sorted by version_idx, with 1 computed expression column; X Bar chart of Time (ms), grouped by benchmark, filtered to outlier == false, version_idx == 0, sorted by Time (ms), with 1 computed expression column; Data grid of Time (ms), grouped by benchmark, split by version, filtered to outlier == false, sorted by version_idx, with 1 computed expression column.

Perspective's Python benchmark results for every release: time by release, the latest release by case, and the full benchmark × release matrix.

Data

Perspective's own benchmark results for perspective-python — the native engine, driven from a Node.js client over WebSocket — as published with each GitHub release: every timed iteration of table construction, streaming updates, pivots, expressions, joins and serialization over the Superstore dataset, for the current and prior releases, measured by CI on a GitHub Actions ubuntu-22.04 runner.

Loaded from /data/benchmark-python.arrow as arrow into the perspective-server engine.
