How to run your benchmarks

There are several ways to run your benchmarks:

Types

var summary = BenchmarkRunner.Run<MyBenchmarkClass>();
var summary = BenchmarkRunner.Run(typeof(MyBenchmarkClass));

Url

You can also run a benchmark directly from the internet:

string url = "<E.g. direct link to raw content of a gist>";
var summary = BenchmarkRunner.RunUrl(url);

Source

string benchmarkSource = "public class MyBenchmarkClass { ...";
var summary = BenchmarkRUnner.RunSource(benchmarkSource);

BenchmarkSwitcher

Or you can create a set of benchmarks and choose one from command line:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var switcher = new BenchmarkSwitcher(new[] {
        typeof(BenchmarkClass1),
        typeof(BenchmarkClass2),
        typeof(BenchmarkClass3)
    });
    switcher.Run(args);
}

Also you can use the config command style to specify some config via switcher or even command line:

switcher.Run(new[] { "jobs=dry", "columns=min,max" });
