Uses a robust estimator to summarize the measurements. +// The precision is about 0.2%. +// +// Examples: see nanobenchmark_test.cc. +// +// Background: Microbenchmarks such as http://github.com/google/benchmark +// can measure elapsed times on the order of a microsecond. Shorter functions +// are typically measured by repeating them thousands of times and dividing +// the total elapsed time by this count. Unfortunately, repetition (especially +// with the same input parameter!) influences the runtime. In time-critical +// code, it is reasonable to expect warm instruction/data caches and TLBs, +// but a perfect record of which branches will be taken is unrealistic. +// Unless the application also repeatedly invokes the measured function with +// the same parameter, the benchmark is measuring something very different - +// a best-case result, almost as if the parameter were made a compile-time +// constant. This may lead to erroneous conclusions about branch-heavy +// algorithms outperforming branch-free alternatives. +// +// Our approach differs in three ways. Adding fences to the timer functions +// reduces variability due to instruction reordering, improving the timer +// resolution to about 40 CPU cycles. However, shorter functions must still +// be invoked repeatedly. For more realistic branch prediction performance, +// we vary the input parameter according to a user-specified distribution. +// Thus, instead of VaryInputs(Measure(Repeat(func))), we change the +// loop nesting to Measure(Repeat(VaryInputs(func))). We also estimate the +// central tendency of the measurement samples with the "half sample mode", +// which is more robust to outliers and skewed data than the mean or median. + +#include +#include + +#include "hwy/highway_export.h" + +// Enables sanity checks that verify correct operation at the cost of +// longer benchmark runs. +#ifndef NANOBENCHMARK_ENABLE_CHECKS +#define NANOBENCHMARK_ENABLE_CHECKS 0 +#endif + +#define NANOBENCHMARK_CHECK_ALWAYS(condition) \ + while (!(condition)) { \ + fprintf(stderr, "Nanobenchmark check failed at line %d\n", __LINE__); \ + abort(); \ + } + +#if NANOBENCHMARK_ENABLE_CHECKS +#define NANOBENCHMARK_CHECK(condition) NANOBENCHMARK_CHECK_ALWAYS(condition) +#else +#define NANOBENCHMARK_CHECK(condition) +#endif + +namespace hwy { + +namespace platform { + +// Returns tick rate, useful for converting measurements to seconds.
