2021-04-30: RUN_TIMING



This is a simplified way to get many statistics comparing two bits of [pawn]

RUN_TIMING("Version 1 ()")

{

____a = b 5;

}



RUN_TIMING("Version 2 (=)")

{

____a = b;

____a = 5;

}

Will output something like:



Timing "Version 1 ()"...

__________Mean = 78.00ns

__________Mode = 76.00ns

________Median = 78.00ns

_________Range = 9.00ns

Timing "Version 2 (=)"...

__________Mean = 94.00ns

__________Mode = 94.00ns

________Median = 94.00ns

_________Range = 15.00ns





If you don?t understand statistics, pick the one with the lowest Mean, or better yet learn statistics.



There is an optional second parameter to control the number of loops if the experiments run too quickly or slowly:

RUN_TIMING("Version 2 (=)", 100)
