PHP Benchmark - The easy way

This is designed to make benchmarking PHP easy.

Installation

git clone git@github.com:jacobbednarz/php-bench.git

Usage

To run the benchmark, you need to include the class into a file and instantiate the class.

<?php

include_once 'path/to/benchmark.php';

$b = new Benchmark;

After that, you need to add the 'reports' and the methods you wish to benchmark.

<?php

include_once 'path/to/benchmark.php';

// Here are the methods we want to benchmark against each other.
function my_method() {
  return "a" . "b";
}

function my_method2() {
  return "a" + "b";
}

$b = new Benchmark;
$b->report('foo', 'my_method');
$b->report('foo2', 'my_method2');
$b->bench();

Expected output:

$ php benchmark.php

IDENTIFIER    EXECUTION TIME    MEMORY USAGE
foo           0.00003099ms      128b
foo2          0.00000906ms      128b

Set the iterations

If you need to perform more iterations than the default (10), you can use setIterations() to set the value.

<?php

include_once 'path/to/benchmark.php';

// Here are the methods we want to benchmark against each other.
function my_method() {
  return "a" . "b";
}

function my_method2() {
  return "a" + "b";
}

$b = new Benchmark;
$b->setIterations(1000);
$b->report('foo', 'my_method');
$b->report('foo2', 'my_method2');
$b->bench();
