Introduction

This egg provides means to benchmark your code in a simple manner.

Examples

(use micro-benchmark)

(benchmark-measure (sleep 2)) ;returns the runtime in microseconds

;; run code 3 times and return results
(parameterize ((current-benchmark-iterations 3))
  (benchmark-run (sleep 1)))

API

[parameter] current-benchmark-iterations

The amount of iterations that are used in benchmark-run.

[syntax] (benchmark-measure ?code ...)

Runs the ?code once and returns the elapsed runtime in microseconds.

[syntax] (benchmark-run [iterations] ?code ...)

Runs the ?code iterations times and returns an alist with the following keys:

• min - the minimum runtime of all iterations in microseconds
• max - the maximum runtime of all iterations in microseconds
• avg - the average runtime of all iterations in microseconds
• runtimes - the list of all runtimes in microseconds

If iterations is not given then curren-benchmark-iterations is used.
