Annotation Type Macrobenchmark

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(METHOD)
@Beta
public @interface Macrobenchmark

Apply this annotation to any method without parameters to have it timed as a macrobenchmark. A macrobenchmark is roughly defined as any benchmark whose runtime is large enough that the granularity of the clock is not a factor in measurement. Thus, each repetition of the benchmark code can be timed individually.

Additionally, since each rep is independently timed, setup and tear down logic can be performed in between each using the BeforeRep and AfterRep annotations respectively.
