Motoko Benchmarks with bench‑helper

What This Is

bench-helper is a tiny Motoko library that standardizes how to write benchmarks. You describe a benchmark using a small schema (name, rows, cols), provide a run(row, col) function, and return a versioned bench record. Each file under bench/*.bench.mo defines one benchmark module. A runner can then discover and execute all benches consistently.

Prerequisites

mops.toml (add dependencies and toolchain)

If you already have a mops.toml, just add bench-helper under [dev-dependencies]. If your project still uses mo:base instead of mo:core, you can keep it — benches themselves can be written with mo:base without affecting your runtime canisters.
