Benchmarking with BenchmarkDotNet

In this section, we will benchmark some methods to determine which method gives us the best performance. Keep in mind that there is some initial expense when running code in parallel. So, sometimes, parallel code may not be the best option for improving code performance. Let’s get started:

1. Comment out the code in the Main method and add the following line:

   BenchmarkRunner.Run<Benchmarks>();

2. Add a class called Benchmarks.
3. Add the following NuGet packages:
   1. BenchmarkDotNet
   2. LinqOptimizer.Csharp
4. Add the using statements for each of the NuGet packages to the Benchmarks class.
5. Add the following code to set up our benchmarks:

   private short[] data;
   [GlobalSetup]
   public void GlobalSetup()
   {
        integers = new Int16[Int16.MaxValue];
        for (short x = 1; x <= integers.Length - 1; x++)
        { 
        integers[x] = x; 
        }
   ...
