BenchmarkTools
BenchmarkTools is a Julia package designed for reliable microbenchmarking of code blocks. It provides tools to measure execution time and memory allocations while aiming to minimize noise from just-in-time compilation, garbage collection, and other runtime effects. The package is widely used in the Julia community to evaluate performance changes and to compare alternative implementations.
Core capabilities include the macros @btime and @benchmark. @btime offers a quick, repeatable timing of an expression
The results produced by BenchmarkTools are designed to be reproducible and comparable. Output commonly includes concise
Usage typically involves importing the package and applying the macros to functions or expressions of interest
Development and ecosystem: BenchmarkTools is maintained by the Julia community as part of its benchmarking workflow
