jlb6740 commented on issue #5060:

Change factor shows patch effect on x64 if merged compared to current head for main.

Results are based on clocktick (CT) event cycles. Change Factor = (Patched_CT - Main_CT) / (Main_CT)
A negative change factor means clockticks are expected to be reduced by the patch.

@cfallin I think this is the one to address some previous comments. Note, https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/5064 is a separate PR to look at better stabilizing results.

@cfallin. These are averages of what we decided to call the change factor (python pandas calls it percent change). I definetly don't think we want to take the geomean of these numbers. The numbers are already a percentage (and not based on a diff) .. so I think taking the arithmetic average is appropriate there. Note, I updated the comments to include the formula that is used:

Some Factor = (Patched_CT - Main_CT) / (Main_CT)
or
Patched Clock Ticks = Main Clock Ticks + (Main Clock Ticks * (Some Factor))

This makes sense to me, but multiplying "Some Factor" by 100 would break this formula.
0.003 factor is not the same as .3%.
1.003 factor is equivalent to .3%

jlb6740 commented on issue #5060:

As far as the effect size I think that is calculated in sightglass so should be doable. That said, I've found it takes a minute to noodle on these changes just because it takes so long to run and you don't know if you've broken something with your changes or to know the format is not quite like you want it. I don't want this to languish for a week while I attend to other things. Is it OK to do these other updates in another iteration? But of course close on the labels and formula here.

Ah, right, a geomean is warranted if raw ratio of runtime, sorry; I had been thinking in those terms and not fractional-change terms. (Can we call it "arithmetic mean" in the header then to specify to the reader which it is?)

Some Factor = (Patched_CT - Main_CT) / (Main_CT)

This makes sense to me, but multiplying "Some Factor" by 100 would break this formula.
0.003 factor is not the same as .3%.
1.003 factor is equivalent to .3%

Isn't this just the definition of fractional change? The - Main_CT / Main_CT term is effectively subtracting one (the above formula can be rearranged to (Patched_CT / Main_CT) - 1). So if this formula reports a result of 0.003, then that is a multiplicative factor of 1.003 from old to new, and that is a 0.3% shift. In other words, if I have a runtime ratio of 1.003, then the run got 0.3% slower; to go from 1.003 to 0.3%, I subtract one and multiply by 100.

jlb6740 commented on issue #5060:

Ok .. I may be confusing something here but this is how I see it:

Patch = Main (1 + Factor) is what the current formula states.
So .. let's say Main is 100 and Factor is -.003 then the Patch Clockticks would decrease to (100 - .3) = 99.7

If we take the same thing with %
So .. let's say Main is 100 and Percentage is -.3% then the Patch Clockticks would decrease to (100 * .3) = 99.7

Ok .. this is why I don't like percentages :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:. I think you are right. Hopefully I can easily change this factor to percentage in pandas with ease. I'll just make that change as I do think it is easier to read.

@cfallin .. Ok. I think this is in the direction of the format we want. Is it OK to merge this as is? Adding an effect size column and sorting based on that we can do in iteration with another patch? Also .. about that. I kind of like the benchmarks being in the same predictable alphabetical order each table where you don't have to search for where a specific benchmark result is. Maybe we want to add the column but not sort?

cfallin commented on issue #5060:

One final request (sorry!). "Change factor" makes sense to me if it's a pure ratio where 1.000 is no change; but since we're presenting only the delta (subracting 1, or subracting Main_CT in the numerator, or subracting 100%, all equivalent), this is a delta, not a factor. It's also now a percent. So, ironically I guess, the original pct_change title (can we spell it out as "Percent change" though?) is actually now accurate, now that we've adjusted the formula -- could we go to that? Happy to approve+merge after that!

Can we mark whether the change is statistically significant or not? Otherwise there is no way to know whether to trust it or not.

Hi @cfallin @fitzgen, Instead of having the current table, how about we just highlight a few of the default benchmarks and print the default message? I think, as has already been suggested, we should be doing any formatting of the output printed in the message in sightglass itself so can work on a github markdown formatting there. Also, this patch increases the number of iterations and parallel processes to help stabilize results allowing us to close https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/5064

Happy with using the default output (and separately from the github action growing a "markdown" output format in the sightglass tool).

Not sure what you mean about "just highlight a few of the default benchmarks". Do you mean just run the default.suite set of benchmarks? If so, fine by me.

Will wait for @cfallin approval

Ah, sorry, didn't realize you were waiting for me here too. Yes, it seems fine to me.

One thing that I just realized is that the results come as a comment via your personal GitHub account. I think that we should change that -- we shouldn't have a dependence on one person's account (it's liable to break if you change or delete your account, it's problematic if one day you aren't working on Wasmtime/Cranelift any more, etc). We don't have to do it in this PR but would you be able to create a dedicated bot account for posting these comments, and give the infra a token for that instead (and somehow share the appropriate details with various folks across BA so we always have access)?

@cfallin Says it is still waiting for the +1. Will use bot account to send results back. May need you to create that account here though, not sure I have permission.
