Episode 173: More benchmarking

Android Developers Backstage

In this episode, Chet, Romain and Tor talk with Chris Craik and Rahul Ravikumar from the toolkit performance team. We talk about the recently released the macrobenchmark tool+library, in addition to other interesting bits like how the benchmark libraries work, how to use them, how they relate to system tracing, how to do performance debugging in general, and even a teaser of future performance instrumentation functionality that the team is working on.

Chet, Chris, Rahul (top), Romain, and Tor (bottom), all looking unusually happy.
