I was running some timings in my code to see which of several functions was the best and I've been getting some odd results. Here's the code I'm using:
The functions that I'm passing to time_loop are pure functions -- they're not making any changes to global variables. And yet every time I run this, my debugging line in median3 shows that the third invocation takes significantly longer than the others. Sample run:
Why is that? These functions are entirely deterministic, and nothing is changing between invocations. But I see a strong pattern of time - smaller time - much longer time.
As for cache effects, the functions rely on a 125 MB global array, so that's not going to fit even in my 6MB L3. (Even if it did you'd expect the second and third invocations to be fast.)

I need to make it so an autmated process which involves ssh, times out if ssh prompts for a password. Most of the time it shouldnt prompt for a password. But if it does i need it to time it out or get a status and stop the ssh and log that the ssh failed and move onto the next server. Is there any... (9 Replies)
hi everyone. If you have a function created in your code and you want to find out how long it takes for it to run you can use a struct called gettimeofday().
so lets say we have a function like this
int myfunction (int r)
{
/*some math calculations*/
return answer;
}
How do i set up... (3 Replies)
Hello there, I just needed to know how to get the timing right when using the gcc __builtin_prefetch() function, that is, how many instructions before the actual utilization of the data should I make the prefetch call.
I will be measuring the L1 cache hit rate with valgrind's cachegrind,... (3 Replies)
I'm attempting to read a file that is composed of complex 32-bit floating point values on Solaris 10 that came from a 64-bit Red Hat computer.
When I first tried reading the file, it looked like there was a byte-swapping problem and after running the od command on the file Solaris and Red Hat... (2 Replies)
Hello ,
When using vim, can ctag and cscope support recording search results and displaying the history results ? Once I jump to one tag, I can use :tnext to jump to next tag, but how can I display the preview search result? (0 Replies)
i have a very big script i have that i'd like to add a timeout to.
this script runs on a several remote host. i update this script with timeout clause and then copy it over to all the hosts on which it is currently on.

QwtSystemClock(3) Qwt User's Guide QwtSystemClock(3)NAME
QwtSystemClock -
QwtSystemClock provides high resolution clock time functions.
SYNOPSIS
#include <qwt_system_clock.h>
Public Member Functions
QwtSystemClock ()
virtual ~QwtSystemClock ()
bool isNull () const
void start ()
double restart ()
double elapsed () const
Static Public Member Functions
static double precision ()
Detailed Description
QwtSystemClock provides high resolution clock time functions.
Sometimes the resolution offered by QTime ( millisecond ) is not accurate enough for implementing time measurements ( f.e. sampling ).
QwtSystemClock offers a subset of the QTime functionality using higher resolution timers ( if possible ).
Precision and time intervals are multiples of milliseconds (ms).
Note:
The implementation uses high-resolution performance counter on Windows, mach_absolute_time() on the Mac or POSIX timers on other
systems. If none is available it falls back on QTimer.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
QwtSystemClock::QwtSystemClock ()
Constructs a null clock object.
QwtSystemClock::~QwtSystemClock () [virtual]
Destructor.
Member Function Documentation
double QwtSystemClock::elapsed () const Returns:
Number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the last time start() or restart() was called or 0.0 for null clocks.
bool QwtSystemClock::isNull () const Returns:
true if the clock has never been started.
double QwtSystemClock::precision () [static] Returns:
Accuracy of the system clock in milliseconds.
double QwtSystemClock::restart () The start time to the current time and return the time, that is elapsed since the previous start time.
void QwtSystemClock::start () Sets the start time to the current time.
