Detailed Description

Measure a time interval using derivatives of the CPU instruction RDTSC.

The design of this code is directly influenced from [1]. Note that instructions are emitted to ensure that the pipeline in the CPU is serialised at the start of the interval and partially serialised at the end, so the interval measurement is fairly accurate. Note that this costs approximately 20 clock cycles.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

in_order()

REALLY_FORCE_INLINE jmmcg::cpu_timer::in_order::in_order ( element_type &  d )

inlineexplicitnoexcept

Note that this serialises the CPU.

Definition at line 158 of file hp_timer.hpp.

~in_order()

REALLY_FORCE_INLINE jmmcg::cpu_timer::in_order::~in_order ( )

inlinenoexcept

Note that instructions issued before this dtor will complete before the dtor, but those issued after may be scheduled before the dtor, if the super-scalar CPU has sufficient resources.
