pybenchmarks 2.4

PyBenchmarks

Automate the creation of benchmark tables.

The benchmark utility times one or more code snippets or functions by iterating through input arguments or keyed variables. It returns a dictionary containing the elapsed time (all platforms) and memory usage (linux only) for each combination of the input variables. An argument or keyed variable is iterated if and only if it is a list, a tuple, a generator or a range.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from pybenchmarks import benchmark
>>> b = benchmark((np.empty, np.ones), (100, 10000, 1000000),
