Open-source SMP server benchmarks 4.6x faster indexing of Linux kernel

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author of the open-source Structural Memory Protocol (SMP) server benchmarks its performance against another code-graph server. SMP achieved a 4.6x speed improvement when indexing a 96,000-file Linux kernel tree on a laptop. The post details the methodology, highlighting SMP's efficiency in handling large codebases without relying on traditional databases like PostgreSQL or Neo4j, and demonstrates how SMP's caching mechanism fixed a bug that caused out-of-memory errors in a benchmark.
