Bench[mark]

Benchmark tool for benchmarking how long a block of code runs for X iterations or how many times it can run in a given period.

Bench now uses Telemetry if you have it to show you the USR/SYS/CPU times, so your output below may look slightly different.

Usage

use Bench;

my $b = Bench.new;

$b.timethese(1000, {
  first  => sub { sleep .05; },
  second => sub { sleep .005; },
});
'---------------------------------------------------------'.say;
$b.cmpthese(1000, {
  first  => sub { sleep .05; },
  second => sub { sleep .005; },
});

Output

Benchmark:
Timing 1000 iterations of first, second...
     first: 51.5808 wallclock secs @ 19.3871/s (n=1000)
    second: 6.4035 wallclock secs @ 156.1656/s (n=1000)
---------------------------------------------------------

Methods

.timestr(Array) returns Str

Takes an array returned from any of the following methods and returns a formatted string with the data filled in. The string is similar to below: 6.4145 wallclock secs @ 155.8971/s (n=1000)

.timeit(Int $iterations, Sub) returns Array

Times a single sub over X iterations. Doesn't output anything by default, just returns an array of time spent and iterations. Use in conjunction with .timestr

.countit(Rat $time, Sub) returns Array

Returns how many iterations of the Sub it can run in the specified time. Use in conjunction with .timestr

.timethis(Int $iterations, Sub, Str :$title) returns Array

Runs the specified sub for $iterations and automatically prints out the .timestr. If $iterations is negative or 0 then it runs .countit instead of .timeit

.timethese(Int $iterations, Hash $Subs) returns Array

Similar to .timethis but the key in the hash becomes the title for the test. An example of the output can be

.cmpthese(Int $iterations, Hash $Subs) returns Array

Similar to .timethese but it produces a cute little table comparing the results.
