This egg provides means to benchmark your code in a simple manner. It features traditional benchmarking with microsecond resolution as well as a different approach that has been inspired by: https://github.com/evanphx/benchmark-ips

Documentation

Types

[type] real : (or integer float ratnum)
[type] statistics-alist : (list-of (pair symbol *))

Usage

 
(import micro-benchmark)

current-benchmark-iterations

[parameter] current-benchmark-iterations

The default number of iterations. Initially 100.

current-benchmark-statistics-set

[parameter] current-benchmark-statistics-set

The set of generated statistics, 'verbose or 'normal.

benchmark-measure

[syntax] (benchmark-measure EXPR ...) -> real

Runs the EXPR ... once & returns the runtime in microseconds.

benchmark-run

[syntax] (benchmark-run [ITERATIONS] EXPR) -> statistics-alist
[syntax] (benchmark-run (ITERATIONS [STAT-ID]) EXPR ...) -> statistics-alist

Runs the EXPR ... ITERATIONS times and returns a micro-stats (generate-statistics) report.

ITERATIONS
fixnum ; defaults to (current-benchmark-iterations)
STAT-ID
symbol ; defaults to (current-benchmark-statistics-set)

benchmark-ips

[syntax] (benchmark-ips [SECONDS] EXPR) -> statistics-alist
[syntax] (benchmark-ips ([SECONDS [WARMUPS [STAT-ID]]]) EXPR ...) -> statistics-alist

Determines how many times one can run the given EXPR ... per second and returns a (generate-statistics) report.

SECONDS
fixnum ; seconds of run while counting, defaults to 5
WARMUPS
fixnum ; seconds of run before counting, defaults to 2
STAT-ID
symbol ; statistics set generated

benchmark-measure-run

[syntax] (benchmark-measure-run ([ITERATIONS]) EXPR ...) -> (list-of float)

Returns the ITERATIONS X (EXPR ...) runtimes, in microseconds (μs).

ITERATIONS
fixnum ; defaults to (current-benchmark-iterations)

run-benchmark-measure

[procedure] (run-benchmark-measure THUNK) -> real

Returns the (THUNK) runtime in microseconds.

benchmark-measure-ips

[syntax] (benchmark-measure-ips (begin EXPR ...)) -> (list-of float)
[syntax] (benchmark-measure-ips ([SECONDS [WARMUPS]]) EXPR ...) -> (list-of float)

Determines how many times one can run the given EXPR ... per second and returns a list of the iterations/second.

SECONDS
real ; seconds of run while counting, defaults to 5
WARMUPS
real ; seconds of run before counting, defaults to 2

run-benchmark-ips

[procedure] (run-benchmark-ips THUNK [SECONDS [WARMUPS]]) -> (list-of float)

Determines how many times one can run the given (THUNK) per second and returns a list of the iterations/second.

SECONDS
real ; seconds of run while counting, defaults to 5
WARMUPS
real ; seconds of run before counting, defaults to 2

current-microseconds

Usage

 
(import current-microseconds)

current-flmicroseconds

[procedure] (current-flmicroseconds) -> float

current-microseconds

[procedure] (current-microseconds) -> integer

Examples

 
(import micro-benchmark)

;YMMV

;; simply measure the runtime of the given fragment
(benchmark-measure (sleep 2))
;=> 2003822.22601318

;; run code 3 times and return results
(parameterize ((current-benchmark-iterations 3))
  (benchmark-run () (sleep 1)) )
;=> ((min . 1001227.66900635) (max . 1003503.40200806) ...)

;; find out how many iterations we can make per second
(benchmark-ips () (sleep 2))
;=> ((mean . 0.499209372899189) ...)
(import micro-benchmark slib-charplot)
(parameterize ((plot-dimensions '(20 60)))
  (histograph (benchmark-measure-run (40) (sleep 1))))

Requirements
