Can BenchmarkDotNet measure CPU consumption?

[yll690]

Hi, I use BenchmarkDotNet for several times, and wonder if the mean times consider CPU consumption. There may be some algorithms run faster but consume much more CPU resources, resulting in poorer performance when running in parallel. So does BenchmarkDotNet support measuring CPU resource consumption like cycles and processor time? This also helps comparing results across machines.

Hi @yll690

You need to use a profiler for that. We provide few plugins that make it very easy: https://benchmarkdotnet.org/articles/configs/diagnosers.html
