Benchmark DataCamp's machine
The benchmarkme package allows you to run a set of standardized benchmarks and compare your results to other users. One set of benchmarks tests is reading and writing speeds.
The function call
res = benchmark_io(runs = 1, size = 5)
records the length of time it takes to read and write a 5MB file.
This exercise is part of the course
Writing Efficient R Code
Exercise instructions
- Find the time it takes to read and write a 5 MB file. Assign the result to
res. (Do not attempt to read and write a 50 MB file. Your session on DataCamp may crash) - Compare DataCamp to other users via
plot(res).
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# Load the package
library("benchmarkme")
# Run the io benchmark
res <- ___(runs = 1, size = ___)
# Plot the results
