This is designed to accept the following command:
iex(1)> Benchmark.run([20, 5])
Which would then output:
Warming up . . . initiating first trial of 20.
Warming up . . . Trial number 2 of 20.
Warming up . . . Trial number 3 of 20.
Warming up . . . Trial number 4 of 20.
Warming up . . . Trial number 5 of 20.
Average execution time after 6 trials of 20: 0.754 seconds.
Average execution time after 7 trials of 20: 0.754 seconds.
Average execution time after 8 trials of 20: 0.549 seconds.
Average execution time after 9 trials of 20: 0.48 seconds.
Average execution time after 10 trials of 20: 0.448 seconds.
Average execution time after 11 trials of 20: 0.496 seconds.
Average execution time after 12 trials of 20: 0.471 seconds.
Average execution time after 13 trials of 20: 0.499 seconds.
Average execution time after 14 trials of 20: 0.485 seconds.
Average execution time after 15 trials of 20: 0.47 seconds.
Average execution time after 16 trials of 20: 0.457 seconds.
Average execution time after 17 trials of 20: 0.447 seconds.
Average execution time after 18 trials of 20: 0.438 seconds.
Average execution time after 19 trials of 20: 0.431 seconds.
Final trial - Average execution time: 0.427 seconds.
:ok
When attempting to compile this module, however, it triggers the following error:
== Compilation error in file lib/Benchmark.ex ==
** (CompileError) lib/Benchmark.ex:24: undefined function totaL_warm_up_cycles/0
It looks like total_warm_up_cycles = Enum.at(params, 1) is being ignored? If so, why and how is this resolved?
Ideally I’d love to get this to run with something like iex(2)> Benchmark.run([MODULE.FUNCTION, 20, 5]) which would make this more dynamic since the particular module function to be benchmarked wouldn’t have to be hardcoded. After spending dozens of hours searching far and wide, though, I can’t find any resources that cover how exactly this is done. Is this even possible?
Thanks for all your help and opinions! ![]()

totaL_warm_up_cycleshas a bigL, it’s a typo.Also Liked
NobbZ
There is an uppercase L in the usage of the variable, but not in it’s definition
kokolegorille
You put a capital L in the second totaL_warm_up_cycles.
Nicd
As for this part, have you tried for example
Benchmark.run(&Module.function/n, 20, 5)(substituting module, function, andnfor the respective module, function, and arity)? Then you could call the function withfunction.(args)(note the period).EDIT: For more information about function capturing, see: https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/modules-and-functions.html#function-capturing

Got it, thanks so much!
