+
+// Benchmarks functions of a single integer argument with realistic branch
+// prediction hit rates. Uses a robust estimator to summarize the measurements.
+// The precision is about 0.2%.
+//
+// Examples: see nanobenchmark_test.cc.
+//
+// Background: Microbenchmarks such as http://github.com/google/benchmark
+// can measure elapsed times on the order of a microsecond. Shorter functions
+// are typically measured by repeating them thousands of times and dividing
+// the total elapsed time by this count. Unfortunately, repetition (especially
+// with the same input parameter!) influences the runtime. In time-critical
+// code, it is reasonable to expect warm instruction/data caches and TLBs,
+// but a perfect record of which branches will be taken is unrealistic.
+// Unless the application also repeatedly invokes the measured function with
+// the same parameter, the benchmark is measuring something very different -
+// a best-case result, almost as if the parameter were made a compile-time
+// constant. This may lead to erroneous conclusions about branch-heavy
+// algorithms outperforming branch-free alternatives.
+//
+// Our approach differs in three ways. Adding fences to the timer functions
+// reduces variability due to instruction reordering, improving the timer
+// resolution to about 40 CPU cycles. However, shorter functions must still
+// be invoked repeatedly. For more realistic branch prediction performance,
+// we vary the input parameter according to a user-specified distribution.
+// Thus, instead of VaryInputs(Measure(Repeat(func))), we change the
+// loop nesting to Measure(Repeat(VaryInputs(func))). We also estimate the
+// central tendency of the measurement samples with the "half sample mode",
+// which is more robust to outliers and skewed data than the mean or median.
+
+// NOTE: for compatibility with multiple translation units compiled with
+// distinct flags, avoid #including headers that define functions.
