Linux Efficient logging of time measurements
Hi all,

I am working on a software, which was developed using C programming on unix environment. I have added certain functionality to the software.

Now, I interested in measuring time taken by new functionality (Mean value of huge amount of tests). Since new function will be part of many threads and will be running simultaneously.

I am looking for a efficient logging mechanism to log time duration for each execution, that will not reduce the performance.

I hope appending to a log file creates bottleneck.

FYI. This software is real time one and will be running for many weeks.

Thanks in advance,

Tamil

nkthread

nkthread(5)							File Formats Manual						       nkthread(5)

NAME

       nkthread - limits the number of threads allowed to run simultaneously

VALUES

   Failsafe
   Default
       or

   Allowed values
       must be greater than

       must be greater than

       This may be set higher, but more will not be used.

   Recommended values
       Unless there are heavily threaded applications on the system, the default formula is adequate if is tuned correctly.

DESCRIPTION

       The tunable controls the absolute number of threads allowed on a system at any given time.  Increasing it will allow more threads, and low-
       ering it will restrict the number of threads.

       It can be determined that is too low when the message is seen in the message buffer.  The message can be read via or This message indicates
       that  an  application  was  unable  to  create  a thread.  Setting too low can cause application failures due to an inability to create new
       threads or fork new processes.

       It can be determined how many threads have been used simultaneously prior to the above message by calling  and  examining  the  This  field
       indicates the "high water" mark of the number of threads that have been simultaneously used.

   Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       Anyone expecting to run large numbers of threads.

   Restrictions on Changing
       None.  This tunable is dynamic.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
       This value should be increased, either directly or as a result of tuning on most systems that are running many threads or processes.

   What are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
       None.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
       The  value  should  be  lowered only to limit the number of threads on the system, or when there is memory pressure and the value of is far
       above the expected usage.

   What are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?
       Increased risk of application failure do to the inability to create new threads or fork new processes.

   What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
       None.

       Installation  of  optional  kernel  software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values.  After installation,
       some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation  on  tun-
