how write (and run) correct micro-benchmark in java?

i'm looking here code samples , comments illustrating various things think about.

example: should benchmark measure time/iteration or iterations/time, , why?

related: is stopwatch benchmarking acceptable?

tips writing micro benchmarks from creators of java hotspot:

rule 0: read reputable paper on jvms , micro-benchmarking. 1 brian goetz, 2005. not expect micro-benchmarks; measure limited range of jvm performance characteristics.

rule 1: include warmup phase runs test kernel way through, enough trigger initializations , compilations before timing phase(s). (fewer iterations ok on warmup phase. rule of thumb several tens of thousands of inner loop iterations.)

rule 2: run -xx:+printcompilation, -verbose:gc, etc., can verify compiler , other parts of jvm not doing unexpected work during timing phase.

rule 2.1: print messages @ beginning , end of timing , warmup phases, can verify there no output rule 2 during timing phase.

rule 3: aware of difference between -client , -server, , osr , regular compilations. -xx:+printcompilation flag reports osr compilations at-sign denote non-initial entry point, example: trouble$1::run @ 2 (41 bytes). prefer server client, , regular osr, if after best performance.

rule 4: aware of initialization effects. not print first time during timing phase, since printing loads , initializes classes. not load new classes outside of warmup phase (or final reporting phase), unless testing class loading (and in case load test classes). rule 2 first line of defense against such effects.

rule 5: aware of deoptimization , recompilation effects. not take code path first time in timing phase, because compiler may junk , recompile code, based on earlier optimistic assumption path not going used @ all. rule 2 first line of defense against such effects.

rule 6: use appropriate tools read compiler's mind, , expect surprised code produces. inspect code before forming theories makes faster or slower.

rule 7: reduce noise in measurements. run benchmark on quiet machine, , run several times, discarding outliers. use -xbatch serialize compiler application, , consider setting -xx:cicompilercount=1 prevent compiler running in parallel itself.

rule 8: use library benchmark more efficient , debugged sole purpose. such jmh, caliper or bill , paul's excellent ucsd benchmarks java.

i beginner in autocad plugins .i have created array of circle using following code. now, have hatch circles in array .how that??how hatch circles @ once? moreover, how can return hatch method , use hatch objects.sorry language.thanks in advance. [assembly: commandclass(typeof(beamsection.class1))] namespace beamsection { public class class1 { //class1 obj = new class1(); [commandmethod("beamatsupport")] public void addlightweightpolyline() { // current document , database document acdoc = application.documentmanager.mdiactivedocument; database accurdb = acdoc.database; promptpointresult ppr = acdoc.editor.getpoint("\nselect starting point "); var ucs = acdoc.editor.currentusercoordinatesystem; point3d startingpt = ppr.value.transformby(ucs); list<double> radius = new list<double>(); radius.add(0.5);

so have been working on @ codecademy.com while trying learn python. don't know if blind , can't see why won't work or what. here's code won't let me use. function print variable if had typed in , print "empty" if didn't type anything. print "welcome english pig latin translator!" original = raw_input("what's name?") if len(original) > 0 print original else print "empty" if len(original) > 0 else the above lines contains syntax errors. try: if len(original) > 0: else: note added colons, ( : ).
