00:00:06,610 --> 00:00:09,600
- Welcome to Lesson 13: Benchmarking.

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,140
Here, I'm gonna start
teaching you the basics

3
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:15,493
of benchmarking, and how
important it is to validate

4
00:00:15,493 --> 00:00:18,350
any benchmark that you perform.

5
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:21,460
We're gonna focus on CPU
and memory benchmarking,

6
00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:24,140
which is really the bulk of
where you should be when we're

7
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:27,170
looking to improve the
performance of our software.

8
00:00:27,170 --> 00:00:28,630
This is where we're
going, where we're trying

9
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:30,450
to make decisions on what is better.

10
00:00:30,450 --> 00:00:32,170
But, remember, we're always gonna optimize

11
00:00:32,170 --> 00:00:35,500
for correctness first, and
once we get a running program,

12
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:38,241
we can use these benchmarking
tools to get a sense

13
00:00:38,241 --> 00:00:41,060
that we're running fast
enough, and if we're not.

14
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:43,690
But I'm gonna show you how
we can leverage the output

15
00:00:43,690 --> 00:00:46,253
of this tooling to make
our code run better.
