Benchmark Functions

Systematically measure function execution time, memory usage, and performance characteristics to identify optimization opportunities.

When to Use

• Comparing different algorithm implementations
• Measuring performance before/after optimization
• Profiling SIMD vs scalar implementations
• Establishing performance baselines for CI/CD

Quick Reference

# Python benchmarking with timeit
python3 -m timeit -s 'import module' 'module.function(args)' -n 1000 -r 5
