Benchmark

this method should be implemented by the concrete benchmark. This method is called by the benchmarking code for a number of times. The GC is called before each call to 'run'.

Test two objects for inequality.

Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them.

Test two objects for equality.

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

• It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
• For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
• null.eq(null) returns true.

When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

The equality method for reference types. See equals in Any.

Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

A representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

The nature of the representation is platform dependent.

The hashCode method for reference types. See hashCode in Any.

Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

The entry point. It takes two arguments: - argument n is the number of consecutive runs - optional argument mult specifies that the n runs are repeated mult times.

Equivalent to !(this eq that).

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

a string that is written at the beginning of the output line that contains the timings. By default, this is the class name.

Run the benchmark the specified number of times and return a list with the execution times in milliseconds in reverse order of the execution.

Prepare any data needed by the benchmark, but whose execution time should not be measured. This method is run before each call to the benchmark payload, 'run'.

Perform cleanup operations after each 'run'. For micro benchmarks, think about using the result of 'run' in a way that prevents the JVM to dead-code eliminate the whole 'run' method. For instance, print or write the results to a file. The execution time of this method is not measured.

Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.
