AoC TIMER
What is it?
AoC timer measures your Advent of Code solutions time in relative units, so you can compare your code performance with others, independent of your machine specs.
The timer is not perfect in replicating the same results on different machines, but the results are precise enough to make it a fun tool.
It also provides a score and shows you the level of your optimizations, making performance tweaks more gratifying.
Example output

You can add it to your README file or post it in the solution megathread on AoC subreddit.
Installation
Via NPM
It is the recommended way if you have Node.js and NPM already installed (or you are willing to do it).
Requires Node 14LTS or higher.
Global installation:
npm i aoctimer -g
Local installation (as a dev tool for your project):
npm i aoctimer -D
Via a single binary
If you prefer a single binary file (Node.js included), you can download it for the most popular platforms:
After downloading, extract the ZIP file and place the file in your executable directory, or set up a PATH to point to the aoctimer executable.
You can also use it locally, invoking it by pointing to it's location, for example:
~/home/utils/aoctimer
C:\User\me\tools\aoctimer.exe
Preparing your code
AoC TIMER is language independent and relies on a simple protocol - in your code write to the stdout line that contains following info (in order):
- the word "total"
- the time as number
- the unit as one of (optional,
msas default):s(seconds)ms(milliseconds)us(microseconds)ns(nanoseconds)
Additional characters and spaces are allowed, the program is not case-sensitive.
Examples:
total 12.01ms
Total: 100 ns
TOTAL TIME - 5s
Total 12345
My solution has total time of 123.100 us.
Example (JS):
import { read } from "../../utils/index"
const part1 = (input) => {
// solution...
return result
}
const part2 = (input) => {
// solution...
return result
}
const input = read()
const t0 = process.hrtime.bigint()
const result1 = part1(input)
const result2 = part2(input)
const t1 = process.hrtime.bigint()
const total = Number(t1 - t0) / 1e6
console.log("Solution to part 1:", result1)
console.log("Solution to part 2:", result2)
console.log(`Total time: ${total}ms`) // <- Line for AoC timer to parse
Usage
In your project folder run:
aoctimer init
It will create the local config and execute the benchmark.
Execute your code (if you skip the day flag, it will try to autocomplete the day by scanning your command):
aoctimer --day <day_number> <your_command>
aoctimer -d <day_number> <your_command>
aoctimer <your_command>
# Examples:
aoctimer node day01/index.js
aoctimer python day5.py
aoctimer day25.exe
aoctimer go run aoc/day01/solution.go
aoctimer -d 13 java my_solution
aoctimer --day 15 lua solution.lua
Show the summary:
aoctimer summary
You can save the output of the commands to the file, using standard command-line piping (Bash / zsh / fish / PowerShell):
aoctimer summary > MY_FILE.txt
CLI
Commands:
init [language] [year] Calibrate and create local config
summary Display the summary
[-d, --day <day>] <command> Run the timer for your command
--help, -h Show help page
--version, -v Show version
