The benefits of using the JMH

The JMH works as an open project that you may run in any JDK environment. It is designed to provide you with several library options of using different microbenchmarks. These benchmarks can measure throughput as well as the processing time performance of the various functions and code elements.

One benefit that you receive as a programmer is the understanding of how your code is using the available machine resources. You get the answers of how the memory is storing your objects and how they are being lined up for processing through the right setup of microbenchmarks.
