commons benchmark in sandbox.
Hey.
I just added a new project to the sandbox. Its designed to provide
lightweight runtime benchmarking for Java code. Think log4j for
benchmarking.
The code can be disabled at runtime with almost no performance hit. Its
also very fast when enabled as well being able to product 1M benchmarks
per second with a modern CPU.
The goal is to provide universal and exported performance benchmarks
that can be enabled at runtime for the JVM. It can also be used to
provide historical benchmarking. Think perfmon for Java. We actually
are using it to tie it into ganglia and rrdtool so that we can generate
graphs as the the performance of our application.
Right now its just a working proof of concept and needs a lot before it
can be shipped. Better API design, XML configuration support,
documentation, etc.
Once (and if) its in Jakarta and out of the sandbox it could be used in
packages like FeedParser or Tomcat to export benchmarking statistics.

Thats looks closer to what I want... I'll checkout the code...

You might like to check out Atlassian Profiling - I believe it does
something similar to what you are doing. I've found it useful in the
past for the reasons you've given.

The benefit of Kevin's system is you don't have to adopt the entire aspect
way of programming just to get benchmarking.

Again... I haven't found anything that comes anywhere close to what I
need.
Most profiling tools are horrible... and most benchmarking tools require
you to recompile your application.
This way your app can export benchmarks and you can enable/disable them
at runtime.
You can also LEAVE them enabled and use them to export historical data
for your app.
Again... think log4j but for benchmarks.

I haven't played around much with ApsectJ but it doesn't do a lot of
what I want. I mean I'd have to provide my own function advice which
would have to implement benchmarking so I'm back to square one.
The advice approach is cool. It would be cool of commons benchmark
could benchmark any existing packages. For example I could benchmark
the ConnectorJ for MySQL without their cooperation. Then all my
executeUpdate, executeQuery functions would be benchmarked.
Still trying to think of the ideal approach here but its still coming
together :)

With so many benchmark and profiling tools available that do not require
instrumenting the code, what real benefit do you see this providing?
Similarly, with AspectJ [or other alternatives], what are you providing
that goes beyond what you might do in that space?
