MicroOpts

Demonstration of JMH and micro-optimisations that can be used on a simple routine. but which can save a small amount of time.

For the write-up, see http://alblue.bandlem.com/2020/02/class-getname.html

There is an older write-up at https://alblue.bandlem.com/2016/04/jmh-stringbuffer-stringbuilder.html which was written prior to the indification of StringBuilder, and the performance may differ from the original write-up. Results are included below.

Reproduction

To run the tests, use Maven to build the benchmarks.jar file, and execute it with the JMH test runner:

$ mvn package
$ java -jar target/benchmarks.jar -bm avgt -tu ns -prof gc

Numbers in JMH-NameTest and JMH-StringBuilderBenchmark were generated on a 2011 MacBook Pro with a 2.3 GHz Core i7 with 8Gb of memory.
