Prior to Java 5, the only way to time a task was to measure wall clock time. Unfortunately, this gives inaccurate results when there is other activity on the system (and there always is). Java 5 introduced the <code>java.lang.management</code> package and methods to report CPU and user time per thread. These times are not affected by other system activity, making them just what we need for benchmarking. This tip shows how to use them to benchmark your application.</p> <p><a href="http://NadeauSoftware.com/articles/2008/03/java_tip_how_get_cpu_and_user_time_benchmarking">read more</a></p> http://NadeauSoftware.com/articles/2008/03/java_tip_how_get_cpu_and_user_time_benchmarking#comments Java Thu, 20 Mar 2008 08:38:32 -0700 Dave_Nadeau 75 at http://NadeauSoftware.com
