Benchmarking In Stable Rust With Criterion.rs

Posted on January 12, 2018 by bheisler.github.io

When I initially announced the release of Criterion.rs, I didn’t expect that there would be so much demand for benchmarking on stable Rust. Now, I’d like to announce the release of Criterion.rs 0.1.2, which supports the stable compiler. This post is an introduction to benchmarking with Criterion.rs and a discussion of reasons why you might or might not want to do so. What is Criterion.rs? Criterion.rs is a benchmarking library for Rust that aims to bring solid statistical confidence to benchmarking Rust code, while maintaining good ease-of-use, even for programmers without a background in statistics.
