Strange output when using JMH

Question

I use jmh to compare a simple application (from the SO question Unexpected scalability results in java fork-join ) using maven and the subsequent command line approach, as recommended in http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jmh/ . After successfully setting up and building the test, I get the following test results using avgt mode:

C:\Users\username\my-app\test>java -jar target/benchmarks.jar -bm avgt -f 1

I am not sure how to interpret this conclusion, but I am quite sure that something went wrong ...? Any idea what and how to debug this?

JMH Unicode. ,? 10?? s/op ", , " ≈ 10⁻¹⁰ s/op ". , Unicode, . this.

Unicode, , JMH , , "0.000 s/op".
