Hello everyone,
I put up a new (unregistered) small package for timing different sections
of code. It works similar to @time in Base but you also give the code
section being timed a label. We can then track the total time and number of
calls that are made to code sections with that label and pretty print it in
the end. This feature existed in a C++ library I used to use (deal.II) and
I missed it in Julia.
Here is a small example.
using TimerOutputs
const time_tracker = TimerOutput();
@timeit time_tracker "sleeping" sleep(1)
@timeit time_tracker "loop" for i in 1:10
rand()
sleep(0.1)
end
v = 0.0
for i in 1:5
v += @timeit time_tracker "in a loop" begin
sleep(0.1)
rand()
end
end
print(time_tracker)
+---------------------------------------------+------------+------------+
| Total wallclock time elapsed since start | 3.155 s | |
| | | |
| Section | no. calls | wall time | % of total |
+---------------------------------------------+------------+------------+
| loop | 1 | 1.012 s | 32 % |
| sleeping | 1 | 1.002 s | 32 % |
| in a loop | 5 | 505.779 ms | 16 % |
+---------------------------------------------+------------+------------+
Feel free to comment on the package name, macro name, format of the output
etc.
