<h1>Benchmarking Class</h1>
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
<p>CodeIgniter has a Benchmarking class that is always active, enabling the time difference between any
|
|
|
62 |
two marked points to be calculated.</p>
|
|
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
|
|
|
65 |
|
|
|
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
<p>In addition, the benchmark is always started the moment the framework is
|
|
|
68 |
invoked, and ended by the output class right before sending the final view to the browser, enabling a very accurate
|
|
|
69 |
timing of the entire system execution to be shown.</p>

<h2>Using the Benchmark Class</h2>
|
|
|
85 |
|
|
|
86 |
<p>The Benchmark class can be used within your <a href="../general/controllers.html">controllers</a>, <a href="../general/views.html">views</a>, or your <a href="../general/models.html">Models</a>. The process for usage is this:</p>
|
|
|
87 |
|
|
|
88 |
<ol>
|
|
|
89 |
<li>Mark a start point</li>
|
|
|
90 |
<li>Mark an end point</li>
|
|
|
91 |
<li>Run the "elapsed time" function to view the results</li>
|
|
|
92 |
</ol>
|
|
|
93 |
|
|
|
94 |
<p>Here's an example using real code:</p>
|
|
|
95 |
|
|
|
96 |
<code>$this->benchmark->mark('code_start');<br />
|
|
|
97 |
<br />
|
|
|
98 |
// Some code happens here<br />
|
|
|
99 |
<br />
|
|
|
100 |
$this->benchmark->mark('code_end');<br />
|
|
|
101 |
<br />
|
|
|
102 |
echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time('code_start', 'code_end');</code>
|
|
|
103 |
|
|
|
104 |
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The words "code_start" and "code_end" are arbitrary. They are simply words used to set two markers. You can
|
|
|
105 |
use any words you want, and you can set multiple sets of markers. Consider this example:</p>
|
|
|
106 |
|
|
|
107 |
<code>$this->benchmark->mark('dog');<br />
|
|
|
108 |
<br />
|
|
|
109 |
// Some code happens here<br />
|
|
|
110 |
<br />
|
|
|
111 |
$this->benchmark->mark('cat');<br />
|
|
|
112 |
<br />
|
|
|
113 |
// More code happens here<br />
|
|
|
114 |
<br />
|
|
|
115 |
$this->benchmark->mark('bird');<br />
|
|
|
116 |
<br />
|
|
|
117 |
echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time('dog', 'cat');<br />
|
|
|
118 |
echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time('cat', 'bird');<br />
|
|
|
119 |
echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time('dog', 'bird');</code>

<h2>Profiling Your Benchmark Points</h2>
|
|
|
124 |
|
|
|
125 |
<p>If you want your benchmark data to be available to the
|
|
|
126 |
<a href="../general/profiling.html">Profiler</a> all of your marked points must be set up in pairs, and
|
|
|
127 |
each mark point name must end with <kbd>_start</kbd> and <kbd>_end</kbd>.
|
|
|
128 |
Each pair of points must otherwise be named identically. Example:</p>
|
|
|
129 |
|
|
|
130 |
<code>
|
|
|
131 |
$this->benchmark->mark('my_mark<kbd>_start</kbd>');<br />
|
|
|
132 |
<br />
|
|
|
133 |
// Some code happens here...<br />
|
|
|
134 |
<br />
|
|
|
135 |
$this->benchmark->mark('my_mark<kbd>_end</kbd>');
|
|
|
136 |
<br /><br />
|
|
|
137 |
|
|
|
138 |
$this->benchmark->mark('another_mark<kbd>_start</kbd>');<br />
|
|
|
139 |
<br />
|
|
|
140 |
// Some more code happens here...<br />
|
|
|
141 |
<br />
|
|
|
142 |
$this->benchmark->mark('another_mark<kbd>_end</kbd>');
|
|
|
143 |
</code>
|
|
|
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
<p>Please read the <a href="../general/profiling.html">Profiler page</a> for more information.</p>
|

<a name="execution"></a>

<h2>Displaying Total Execution Time</h2>
|
|
|
150 |
|
|
|
151 |
<p>If you would like to display the total elapsed time from the moment CodeIgniter starts to the moment the final output
|
|
|
152 |
is sent to the browser, simply place this in one of your view templates:</p>
|
|
|
153 |
|
|
|
154 |
<code><?php echo $this->benchmark->elapsed_time();?></code>
|
|
|
155 |
|
|
|
156 |
<p>You'll notice that it's the same function used in the examples above to calculate the time between two point, except you are
|
|
|
157 |
<strong>not</strong> using any parameters. When the parameters are absent, CodeIgniter does not stop the benchmark until right before the final
|
|
|
158 |
output is sent to the browser. It doesn't matter where you use the function call, the timer will continue to run until the very end.</p>
|
|
|
159 |
|
|
|
160 |
<p>An alternate way to show your elapsed time in your view files is to use this pseudo-variable, if you prefer not to use the pure PHP:</p>
|
|
|
161 |
<code>{elapsed_time}</code>
|
|
|
162 |
|
|
|
163 |
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> If you want to benchmark anything within your controller
|
|
|
164 |
functions you must set your own start/end points.</p>
|
|
|
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
<a name="memory"></a>
|
|
|
167 |
<h2>Displaying Memory Consumption</h2>
|
|
|
168 |
|
|
|
169 |
<p>If your PHP installation is configured with --enable-memory-limit, you can display the amount of memory consumed by the entire
|
|
|
170 |
system using the following code in one of your view file:</p>
|
|
|
171 |
|
|
|
172 |
<code><?php echo $this->benchmark->memory_usage();?></code>
|
|
|
173 |
<p>Note: This function can only be used in your view files. The consumption will reflect the total memory used by the entire app.</p>
|
|
|
174 |
|
|
|
175 |
<p>An alternate way to show your memory usage in your view files is to use this pseudo-variable, if you prefer not to use the pure PHP:</p>
|
|
|
176 |
<code>{memory_usage}</code>
|
|
|
177 |
|
|
|
