在我的机器上进行性能测量

System.nanoTime(): 750ns System.currentTimeMillis(): 18ns

如前所述，System.nanoTime()被认为是度量经过的时间。只要注意在循环中使用的代价就可以了。

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
// code goes here
long finishTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long elapsedTime = finishTime - startTime; // elapsed time in milliseconds

在Java 8中引入了一个名为Instant的新类。根据文件:

Instant represents the start of a nanosecond on the time line. This class is useful for generating a time stamp to represent machine time. The range of an instant requires the storage of a number larger than a long. To achieve this, the class stores a long representing epoch-seconds and an int representing nanosecond-of-second, which will always be between 0 and 999,999,999. The epoch-seconds are measured from the standard Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z where instants after the epoch have positive values, and earlier instants have negative values. For both the epoch-second and nanosecond parts, a larger value is always later on the time-line than a smaller value.

这可以用于:

Instant start = Instant.now();
try {
    Thread.sleep(7000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
Instant end = Instant.now();
System.out.println(Duration.between(start, end));

打印pt7.001。

我的答案很简单。对我有用。

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

doReallyLongThing();

long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

System.out.println("That took " + (endTime - startTime) + " milliseconds");

它运行得很好。分辨率显然只有毫秒级，使用System.nanoTime()可以做得更好。这两种方法都有一些限制(操作系统调度切片等)，但效果很好。

平均几次运行(越多越好)，你就会得到一个不错的想法。

我实现了一个简单的定时器，我认为它真的很有用:

public class Timer{
    private static long start_time;

    public static double tic(){
        return start_time = System.nanoTime();
    }

    public static double toc(){
        return (System.nanoTime()-start_time)/1000000000.0;
    }

}

这样你就可以计算一个或多个动作的时间:

Timer.tic();
// Code 1
System.out.println("Code 1 runtime: "+Timer.toc()+" seconds.");
// Code 2
System.out.println("(Code 1 + Code 2) runtime: "+Timer.toc()+"seconds");
Timer.tic();
// Code 3
System.out.println("Code 3 runtime: "+Timer.toc()+" seconds.");

如果java有更好的功能支持就好了，这样需要测量的动作就可以被包装到一个块中:

measure {
   // your operation here
}

在java中，这可以通过匿名函数来完成，看起来太冗长了

public interface Timer {
    void wrap();
}


public class Logger {

    public static void logTime(Timer timer) {
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        timer.wrap();
        System.out.println("" + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) + "ms");
    }

    public static void main(String a[]) {
        Logger.logTime(new Timer() {
            public void wrap() {
                // Your method here
                timeConsumingOperation();
            }
        });

    }

    public static void timeConsumingOperation() {
        for (int i = 0; i<=10000; i++) {
           System.out.println("i=" +i);
        }
    }
}
