I finally found the time to complete std.benchmark. I got to a very
simple API design, starting where I like it: one line of code.
Code is in the form of a pull request at
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/529. (There's some
noise in there caused by my git n00biness). Documentation is at
http://erdani.com/d/web/phobos-prerelease/std_benchmark.html.
For algorithms that process sequences, it would be nice to have results
represented in cycles per item, This should give more consistent results
across different CPU familes and different clock speeds.
Specifically, I think about cycles per byte, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycles_per_byte
Example: http://www.cryptopp.com/benchmarks.html
The framework aims at generality and simplicity. I'd rather have it
simple and universal rather than subtle.
