tree202_benchmarks.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Benchmark comparing row-wise and column-wise storage performance

The test consists in writing/reading to/from keys or trees To execute the benchmark:

root -b -q tree202_benchmarks.C    or root -b -q tree202_benchmarks.C++

for example for N=10000, the following output is produced on an 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 (year 2011). The names featuring a "t" are relative to trees, the faster, the better.

billw0  : RT=  0.803 s, Cpu=  0.800 s, File size=  45608143 bytes, CX= 1
