... Benchmarking in C++

by Nick Athanasiou

From the article:

We’ll be creating a framework that attempts to provide a generic, cross platform (standard compliant), non dependent to third party libraries solution to the benchmarking problem and explore the facilities C++ has to offer on the topic. 

The end product will have the following use pattern :

benchmark<time_type, clock_type> bm;

bm. run(
    "Experiment Name"
    , sampleSize
    , { /* code to time */ }
    , "factor name"
    , factors. begin(), factors. end() );

bm. serialize(
    "benchmark name" , "output file name" , mode);
