About:
Bench is a command-line tool for measuring and analyzing the execution time of Haskell programs. It provides a robust framework for running benchmarks and generating detailed statistical reports. This helps developers identify performance bottlenecks and verify optimizations.
Key Features:
  • Statistical analysis of execution time
  • Support for benchmarking multiple iterations
  • Generates detailed reports including mean, median, and standard deviation
  • Simple integration with existing Haskell projects
Use Cases:
  • Measuring performance of specific Haskell functions or code blocks
  • Comparing the efficiency of different algorithmic implementations
  • Identifying performance regressions in codebases
Alternatives:
  • criterion – More comprehensive and statistically rigorous, but with a heavier footprint; bench is simpler and faster for basic needs.
  • gauge – A lighter-weight alternative to criterion; bench offers a different API and statistical presentation.
