Benchmark-system setup

This project includes Python scripts in the tests/ directory for benchmarking analysis and plotting results. To run these scripts, you need Python 3.x and several libraries.

Setting up the Python Environment

It is recommended to use a virtual environment to manage Python dependencies.

1. Navigate to the project root directory:

   cd bmp-conv
   

2. Create a virtual environment (e.g., named venv_py):

   python3 -m venv venv_py
   

3. Activate the virtual environment: Linux/macOS:

   source venv_py/bin/activate
   

4. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
   

Optional:

1. If you are using convert for file generation - set the upper limit of the disk usage:

   <policy domain="resource" name="disk" value="8GiB"/>
   

   and

   <policy domain="resource" name="width" value="128KP"/>
   <policy domain="resource" name="height" value="128KP"/>
