与 BenchmarkDotNet 的首次通话答案

【问题标题】：First Time Call with BenchmarkDotNet与 BenchmarkDotNet 的首次通话
【发布时间】：2017-05-13 07:30:24
【问题描述】：

我已经用一个简单的测试类试用了 BenchmarkDotNet

public class BenchTest
{
    bool First = false;

    [Benchmark]
    public void FirstTimeInitEffect()
    {
        if (First == false)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("First called");
            First = true;
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }
        else
        {
            Thread.Sleep(10);
        }

    }
}

让它运行

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var cfg = ManualConfig.Create(DefaultConfig.Instance);
        var job = new Job();
        job.Accuracy.RemoveOutliers = false;
        cfg.Add(new Job[] {
            job
            }
        );

        BenchmarkRunner.Run<BenchTest>(cfg);
    }

这打印了一个很好的摘要，但我从结果中缺少的是对方法 FirstTimeInitEffect 的第一次调用需要 1 秒。我希望基准工具也能向我展示第一次通话效果。我尝试了一个自定义配置来防止删除异常值，但这并没有成功。是我用错了工具还是超出了工具的范围？

【解决方案1】：

BenchmarkDotNet 做了很多预热迭代；它允许在我们开始收集实际测量值之前达到稳定状态。此外，它还会执行一些额外的操作，这些操作也会调用您的方法（jitting、试验迭代等）。因此，第一次调用被省略了，也没有包含在摘要中。

如果您想获得基于所有测量值的统计信息（没有抖动、试验和预热迭代），您应该使用RunStrategy.ColdStart（而不是默认的RunStrategy.Throughput）。从 BenchmarkDotNet v0.10.2 开始，它运行良好。

源代码：

[SimpleJob(RunStrategy.ColdStart, targetCount: 5)]
[MinColumn, MaxColumn, MeanColumn, MedianColumn]
public class BenchTest
{
    private bool firstCall;

    [Benchmark]
    public void FirstTimeInitEffect()
    {
        if (firstCall == false)
        {
            firstCall = true;
            Console.WriteLine("// First call");
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }
        else
            Thread.Sleep(10);
    }
}

测量：

Result 1: 1 op, 1000582715.59 ns, 1.0006 s/op
Result 2: 1 op, 10190609.23 ns, 10.1906 ms/op
Result 3: 1 op, 10164930.24 ns, 10.1649 ms/op
Result 4: 1 op, 10604238.53 ns, 10.6042 ms/op
Result 5: 1 op, 10420930.04 ns, 10.4209 ms/op

详细结果：

Mean = 208.4175 ms, StdErr = 198.1331 ms (95.07%); N = 5, StdDev = 443.0390 ms
Min = 10.1163 ms, Q1 = 10.1203 ms, Median = 10.4233 ms, Q3 = 505.7118 ms, Max = 1,000.9497 ms
IQR = 495.5915 ms, LowerFence = -733.2670 ms, UpperFence = 1,249.0991 ms
ConfidenceInterval = [-179.9233 ms; 596.7583 ms] (CI 95%)
Skewness = 1.07, Kurtosis = 2.08

总结：
