# Sightglass

## Introduction

[Sightglass](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/sightglass) is a benchmarking suite and tooling to test WebAssembly applications.

**Source**: <https://github.com/bytecodealliance/sightglass>

## Building

Please build iwasm and wamrc, refer to:

* [Build iwasm on Linux](/document/wamr-in-practice/tutorial/build-tutorial/build_wamr.md#linux), or [Build iwasm on MacOS](/document/wamr-in-practice/tutorial/build-tutorial/build_wamr.md#macos)
* [Build wamrc AOT compiler](/document/appendix/readme.md#build-wamrc-aot-compiler)

And install WASI SDK, please download the [wasi-sdk release](https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/releases) and extract the archive to default path `/opt/wasi-sdk`.

And then run `./build.sh` to build the source code, the folder `out` will be created and files will be generated under it.

## Running

Run `./run_aot.sh` to test the benchmark, the native mode and iwasm aot mode will be tested for each workload, and the file `report.txt` will be generated.

Run `./run_interp.sh` to test the benchmark, the native mode and iwasm interpreter mode will be tested for each workload, and the file `report.txt` will be generated.

Run `./test_pgo.sh` to test the benchmark with AOT static PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) enabled, please refer [here](https://github.com/TianlongLiang/wasm-micro-runtime/blob/main/tests/benchmarks/README.md#install-llvm-profdata) to install tool `llvm-profdata` and build `iwasm` with `cmake -DWAMR_BUILD_STATIC_PGO=1`.

* For Linux, build `iwasm` with `cmake -DWAMR_BUILD_STATIC_PGO=1`, then run `./test_pgo.sh` to test the benchmark with AOT static PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) enabled.
* For Linux-sgx, similarly, build `iwasm` with `cmake -DWAMR_BUILD_STATIC_PGO=1`, then `make` in the directory `enclave-sample`. And run `./test_pgo.sh --sgx` to test the benchmark.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wamr.gitbook.io/document/wamr-in-practice/advance-tutorial/performance-benchmark/sightglass.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
