StopWatch is a small class allowing to manage multiple concurrent stopwatches to measure time elapsed between two calls. Nothing is done while time is rolling (no thread, no loop), it only stores and compares timestamps.
import java.util.Hashtable;
public class StopWatch {
private static final Hashtable startTime = new Hashtable();
public static void start(String id){
startTime.put(id,new Long(System.currentTimeMillis()));
}
public static long stop(String id){
return System.currentTimeMillis() - ((Long)startTime.remove(id)).longValue();
}
}
Example of use :
public main(String[] args) {
// Start a global stopwatch
StopWatch.start("GLOBAL");
// evaluate time used by task 1
StopWatch.start("TASK1");
executeTask1();
System.out.println("Time elapsed for task 1 : " + StopWatch.stop("TASK1") + "ms";
// evaluate time used by task 2
StopWatch.start("TASK2");
executeTask2();
System.out.println("Time elapsed for task 2 : " + StopWatch.stop("TASK2") + "ms";
// Display time elapsed for full processing
System.out.println("Total processing time : " + StopWatch.stop("GLOBAL") + "ms";
}
