perf-book

The Rust Performance Book.

Viewing

The rendered (HTML) book is here.

Building

The book is built with mdbook, which can be installed with this command:

cargo install mdbook

To build the book, run this command:

mdbook build

The generated files are put in the book/ directory.

Development

To view the built book, run this command:

mdbook serve

This will launch a local web server to serve the book. View the built book by navigating to localhost:3000 in a web browser. While the web server is running, the rendered book will automatically update if the book's files change.

To test the code within the book, run this command:

mdbook test

Improvements

Suggestions for improvements are welcome, but I prefer them to be filed as issues rather than pull requests. This is because I am very particular about the wording used in the book. When pull requests are made, I typically take the underlying idea of a pull request and rewrite it into my own words anyway.

This book contains no material produced by generative AI, and none will be accepted.
