Criterion.rs
Criterion.rs is a Rust benchmarking library that provides statistically oriented and feature-rich performance measurement.
How Idiomatic Rust covers it
- How deep it goes
- Identifies a feature-rich benchmarking tool and Haskell port, but does not detail its API or statistical methods.
- What you can do after
- Apply it to run benchmarks on stable Rust.
- How it connects
- Connects it to `cargo bench` and the Rust test library’s `Bencher` workflow as an alternative.
