About:
Celero is a C++ benchmark authoring library and framework designed to easily and accurately measure the performance of code. It simplifies the process of writing micro-benchmarks by handling timing, statistics, and result reporting. The framework helps developers identify performance bottlenecks and verify optimizations in critical code paths.
Key Features:
  • Easy-to-use API for writing micro-benchmarks
  • Automatic statistics calculation (mean, std dev, etc.)
  • Support for setup and teardown routines
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Minimal dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Measuring performance of specific algorithms or functions
  • Comparing different implementation strategies
  • Identifying performance regressions in codebases
  • Validating compiler optimization flags
Alternatives:
  • Google Benchmark – More widely used and feature-rich, but Celero offers a simpler, single-header integration model.
  • Catch2 – Primarily a unit testing framework, but includes benchmarking capabilities.
