Benelux v0.5

A mad way to time Ruby codes

Features

  • A replacement for Benchmark.measure
  • Create timers for any Ruby method
  • Store arbitrary messages
  • Granular statistics
  • Thread-safe

Example

require 'benelux'

# Similar to Benchmark.measure but you specify the
# number of times to run the block and the number
# repetitions. 
tms = Benelux.bm(1000000, 5) do
  rand
end

# Similar to Benchmark::Tms with the addition of
# standard deviation, mean value, and total, for 
# each of the times.    
tms.samples              # => 5
tms.real                 # => 0.45
tms.real.sd              # => 0.04
tms.utime                # => 0.44
tms.utime.sd             # => 0.02
