### Benchmarking
|
|
|
|
|
|
+A rudimentary way to monitor performance is to measure how long a given task
|
|
|
+takes to complete. One way to do achieve this, if the software you are running
|
|
|
+provides no other way, is to run the `date` command before and after your
|
|
|
+program.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+date --iso-8601=seconds --utc
|
|
|
+$command
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The flag and parameter `--iso-8601=seconds` ensures the output is in the ISO
|
|
|
+8601 format with precision up to and including seconds. The `--utc` flag means
|
|
|
+that the time will be printed in Coordinated Universal Time.
