* Package name : libcpucycles Version : 20230105 Upstream Contact: Daniel J. Bernstein <d...@math.uic.edu> * URL : https://cpucycles.cr.yp.to/download.html * License : Public domain Programming Lang: C Description : Microlibrary for counting CPU cycles libcpucycles understands machine-level cycle counters for amd64 (both PMC and TSC), arm32, arm64 (both PMC and VCT), mips64, ppc32, ppc64, riscv32, riscv64, sparc64, and x86. libcpucycles also understands four OS-level mechanisms, which give varying levels of accuracy: mach_absolute_time, perf_event, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and, as a fallback, microsecond-resolution gettimeofday. When the program first calls cpucycles(), libcpucycles automatically benchmarks the available mechanisms and selects the mechanism that does the best job. Subsequent cpucycles() calls are thread-safe and very fast. An accompanying cpucycles-info program prints a summary of cycle-counter accuracy.
