  Description     : framework for writing, running and viewing Java microbenchmarks

Caliper is an entire toolchain for making performance-related 
decisions about Java code that work in concert to help users get 
complete and accurate information about performance while minimizing 
the opportunities for misinformation. 

The primary focus of Caliper is microbenchmarks, but it can support 
arbitrary kinds of measurements including memory allocated, memory 
consumed, or arbitrary domain-specific measurements like compression 
ratio.

Above all, Caliper aims to be as simple as possible while providing 
more unambiguous, consistent and comprehensive data than equivalent 
benchmarks written without it.
