How can I measure the execution time more accurately and reliably?

Frequent Asked Questions on the LINPACK Benchmark
The Performance API (PAPI) project specifies a standard application programming interface (API) for accessing hardware performance counters available on most modern microprocessors. These counters exist as a small set of registers that count Events, occurrences of specific signals related to the processor's function. Monitoring these events facilitates correlation between the structure of source/object code and the efficiency of the mapping of that code to the underlying architecture.

Is there an execution time requirement?

Frequently Asked Questions - OMGWTF Programming Contest
No operation should take more than several seconds. If you're afraid that your architecture will run too slow, email us a brief summary of what you want to do and we'll let you know if it's acceptable. I have a question about an idea I have. I know you said to post it in the forum, but this is a really unique idea that I don't want the thieving WTF community to steal. Oh, crap, we should've thought of that. Email Alex or Jake using the contact form and we'll get back to you. See similar questions...

Is there a limit on CPU time?

Oracle Shared Hosting FAQ
For performance purposes, we have limited the amount of CPU time per session to 10 minutes. This will prevent any runaway calls that can occupy the CPU and reduce performance. See similar questions...

Why is artsd taking that much CPU time?

KDE Multimedia Homepage - Frequently Asked Questions by KDE ...
Check your response time settings. On the other hand, the KDE2.0 version is not yet really optimized. This will improve, and until then no real prediction can be made how fast artsd can or can't be. See similar questions...

Why is MadTracker taking so much CPU time?

MadTracker - FAQ
MadTracker has a high-quality playback engine (check the About page), and because of that needs quite a lot of power. The minimum recommended configuration is a Pentium 166 MHz with 32 MB RAM. The optimal configuration would be a Pentium 233 MHz with 64 MB RAM under a NT-based (real 32-bit) version of Windows (NT 4, 2000 or XP). You must have a motherboard with the bugged 686b southbridge. Check The 686b bugfix for more information about this bug and the solutions to solve the problem. See similar questions...

Will the execution time of the submitted executables be measured in ICE 2006?

NIST Iris Challenge Evaluation FAQ
Yes. If potential participants are concerned about time versus accuracy trade-off, multiple executables with varying execution times maybe submitted. See similar questions...

How do I time the execution of my functions?

Python IAQ: Infrequently Answered Questions
def timer(fn, *args): "Time the application of fn to args. Return (result, seconds)." import time start = time.clock() return fn(*args), time.clock() - start >>>timer(max, range(1e6)) (999999, 0.4921875) See similar questions...

What is real time AUP/UUP execution?

AMC - Airspace Management Cell
The flights shall be performed in accordance with AUP/UUP. The users of the airspace elements, which are not in collision with controlled airspace only confirm their usage 30 minutes before its real time activation. TSAs, TFRs and MRTs colliding with controlled airspace (look column remarks: "KLZ") must be coordinated with AMC (ASM3) on the day of operation 1 hour before planned activation of an element and receive clearance. See similar questions...

What is the maximum kernel execution time?

NVIDIA Forums -> CUDA 1.0 FAQ
On Windows, individual GPU program launches have a maximum run time of around 5 seconds. Exceeding this time limit usually will cause a launch failure reported through the CUDA driver or the CUDA runtime, but in some cases can hang the entire machine, requiring a hard reset. This is caused by the Windows "watchdog" timer that causes programs using the primary graphics adapter to time out if they run longer than the maximum allowed time. See similar questions...

How do I measure and what is the best time to measure?

Frequently Asked Questions
The best time to measure for support hose is early in the morning when you first get up. At this time your legs are generally at their smallest size. All order pages on our web site have size charts for the hose you are looking at. If you are not certain, just pick up the phone and one of our Certified Fitters would be glad to assist you at 1-800-515-4271 See similar questions...

eConsole uses 100% CPU time. Why is this so ?

eConsole History Page
Under Windows 9x, eConsole registers as using 100% of the available CPU time while idle. This does not, however, reflect the actual machine load, since the computer remains accessible and responsive as usual under Windows 9x. The cause for this phenomenon seems to be within the metering API of Windows 9x - under NT, eConsole registers with between 0% and 3% CPU load while idle, which is what one should expect. See similar questions...

How do I find out how much memory and CPU time my job used?

Supercomputing FAQs
The queue_job_id is the numeric job number. This is seen in the left column when you type "qstat -a" while the job is running. After the job completes, there will be an additional file in your directory with the job id number as part of the file name. In the output from tracejob, resources_used.cput is the amount of CPU time used, and resources_used.mem is the maximum amount of memory used. See similar questions...

What is the best time of day to measure for compression stockings?

Compression stockings, varicose veins, laser treatment frequ...
It is best to measure earlier in the day before swelling builds in the legs. Measurements taken later in the day after swelling is present may result in choosing a stocking size that is too large. Many clinics that are unable to see patients earlier in the day will elevate, bandage, or pump the legs for a period of time before measuring in order to reduce any swelling that is present. See similar questions...

How does a clock measure the time of day on Mars?

Martian Time -- FAQ
Several ideas have been put forth regarding Martian clocks. Since a Martian sol is only three percent longer than an Earth day, the most straightforward approach is to simply stretch Earth's units of time into slightly longer hours, minutes, and seconds (this system is used by NASA and JPL). Another approach is to add 39 minutes, 35.2 seconds at the end of 24 hours. Still another idea is to have a "metric" clock based on powers of ten. See similar questions...

How do I measure cooking time?

Manttra Inc-the widest range of pressure cookers
Cooking time is measured from the moment the pressure regulator starts hissing and not from the time you place it on the Regulator Support. See similar questions...

How do you measure application failover time?

GoAhead :: FAQs
Application failover time consists of three components: The time to detect failure, the time to identify and activate the standby resource, and the time for the standby application to go active. Failure detection can range from a few milliseconds, where failure is detected through loss of the application connection, to a few hundred milliseconds depending on how frequently heartbeats are configured. The time for the application to activate upon notification is application dependent. See similar questions...

What was in the speech that Queen Ann Boleyn made on at the time of her execution?

The Website of King Henry VIII - Ask Henry. Questions 1 to 1...
Here speech was made after I had annulled the marriage, so she wasn't a Queen anymore. She did not admit to bewitching me and asked why this had happened to an innocent woman. This at the time made me mad, I know with hindsight she was right. Good Christian people, I am come hither to die, according to law and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I come here only to die, and thus to yield myself humbly to the will of the king, my lord. See similar questions...
