Hi all, I want to measure the number of cpu cycles between two operations in a c program. I am running a BBB rev C.1 on Debian (3.8.13-bone70). My code is pretty simple: #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h>
int main(void) { clock_t start,stop; start=clock(); int j; for(j=0;j<12345;j++){ ; // burn time } stop=clock(); printf("used cycles: %f\n",(long)(stop-start)); return (0); } The output is not satisfiing root@beaglebone:/home/debian# ./getCycles used cycles: 0.000000 This is the way I always did that in the past as far as I remember. Did I miss something? Maybe like additional support packages?
