A small and simple benchmark for pattern (AOB) scan (findpattern) implementations written in C# inspired by this great C++ comparison. Aimed to compare real-world scanning performance without any frills. Currently 13 different implementations from 11 authors are included.

Feel free to create a pull request with your own patter scan implementation at any time. Use PatternScanTemplate.cs as a template for your one while following the rules. Afterwards add a [Benchmark] block in Program.cs and create a pull request. Alternatively try to improve an already existing one.

• NO -unsafe compiler option
• NO DLLs/libraries/WinAPIs (must work cross-platform)
• NO changes to build process
• has to work on 64 bit Windows/Linux
• has to work on most modern AMD64 processors
• don't reuse functions from other implementations, keep your class self-contained

• .NET Framework 6.0
• 64bit OS
• SSE/AVX support for some implementations

Use Visual Studio 2022 or VSCode to build
