如果你只是想知道时间，可以试试这种方法。

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
//@ Method call
System.out.println("Total time [ms]: " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime));    

使用分析器(JProfiler, Netbeans profiler, Visual VM, Eclipse profiler等)。您将得到最准确的结果，并且是最少的干扰。它们使用内置的JVM机制进行概要分析，还可以为您提供额外的信息，如堆栈跟踪、执行路径以及必要时更全面的结果。

当使用完全集成的分析器时，对方法进行分析是非常简单的。右击，分析器->添加到根方法。然后像运行测试运行或调试器一样运行剖析器。

如果您不使用工具，并且希望对执行时间较短的方法进行计时，那么只需执行多次，每次将执行次数增加一倍，直到达到1秒左右。因此，系统调用的时间。纳米时间等，也没有系统的准确性。nanoTime确实对结果有很大影响。

    int runs = 0, runsPerRound = 10;
    long begin = System.nanoTime(), end;
    do {
        for (int i=0; i<runsPerRound; ++i) timedMethod();
        end = System.nanoTime();
        runs += runsPerRound;
        runsPerRound *= 2;
    } while (runs < Integer.MAX_VALUE / 2 && 1000000000L > end - begin);
    System.out.println("Time for timedMethod() is " + 
        0.000000001 * (end-begin) / runs + " seconds");

当然，使用挂钟也有一些注意事项:jit编译、多线程/进程等的影响。因此，您需要首先执行该方法很多次，以便JIT编译器完成它的工作，然后重复此测试多次，并使用最短的执行时间。

你可以使用spring core项目中的stopwatch类:

代码:

StopWatch stopWatch = new StopWatch()
stopWatch.start();  //start stopwatch
// write your function or line of code.
stopWatch.stop();  //stop stopwatch
stopWatch.getTotalTimeMillis() ; ///get total time

Documentation for Stopwatch: Simple stop watch, allowing for timing of a number of tasks, exposing total running time and running time for each named task. Conceals use of System.currentTimeMillis(), improving the readability of application code and reducing the likelihood of calculation errors. Note that this object is not designed to be thread-safe and does not use synchronization. This class is normally used to verify performance during proof-of-concepts and in development, rather than as part of production applications.

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。

nanotime()是一个非常精确的系统实用程序，用于测量执行时间。但是要注意，如果运行在抢占式调度器模式(默认)，这个实用程序实际上测量的是时钟时间，而不是CPU时间。因此，您可能会注意到每次运行的执行时间值是不同的，这取决于系统负载。如果您需要CPU时间，我认为在实时模式下运行您的程序就可以了。您必须使用RT linux。链接:使用Linux进行实时编程
