timing block of code in Python without putting it in a function

I'd like to time a block of code without putting it in a separate function. for example: def myfunc: # some code here t1 = time.time() # block of code to time here t2 = time.time() print "Code took %s seconds." %(str(t2-t1)) however, I'd like to do this with the timeit module in a cleaner way, but I don't want to make a sepa...

How can I benchmark a C program easily?

Is there a simple library to benchmark the time it takes to execute a portion of C code? What I want is something like: int main(){ benchmarkBegin(0); //Do work double elapsedMS = benchmarkEnd(0); benchmarkBegin(1) //Do some more work double elapsedMS2 = benchmarkEnd(1); double speedup = benchmarkSpeedup(el...

Benchmark Linq2SQL, Subsonic2, Subsonic3 - Any other ideas to make them faster ?

I am working with Subsonic 2 more than 3 years now... After Linq appears and then Subsonic 3, I start thinking about moving to the new Linq futures that are connected to sql. I must say that I start move and port my subsonic 2 with SubSonic 3, and very soon I discover that the speed was so slow thats I didn't believe it - and starts al...

GPU programming - transfer bottlenecks

As I would like my GPU to do some of calculation for me, I am interested in the topic of measuring a speed of 'texture' upload and download - because my 'textures' are the data that GPU should crunch. I know that transfer from main memory to GPU memory is the preffered way to go, so I expect such application to be efficient only if ther...

Memory footprint of a parsed XML file in Classic ASP?

Anyone know of a way to find out the amount of memory/size of a XMLDocument once it has parsed a XML file? I've been doing "beer mat" calculations so far but have been asked to come up with some more legit numbers through monitoring some how. I need to create about 1500 XML files (via FreeThreadedXMl-DOM object), which verge between 3-9...

c++ and c# speed compared

I was worried about C#'s speed when it deals with heavy calculations, when you need to use raw CPU power. I always thought that C++ is much faster than C# when it comes to calculations. So I did some quick tests. The first test computes prime numbers < an integer n, the second test computes some pandigital numbers. The idea for second ...

Grails benchmarks compared to other web MVC platform (Rails, Django, ASP MVC)?

I have been searching the web for recent benchmarks measuring Grails overall performance compared to its competitors (Rails, Django, ASP.NET MVC...), but I didn't find anything more recent than a 3 years-old article with obsolete grails version (0.5). See here and here. So, starting from grails 1.2, are there any more recent grails ben...
