Detailed Description

A high resolution timer class wrapper that encapsulates OS-specific high-resolution timers, such as those found on Solaris, AIX, Win32/Pentium, and VxWorks.

Most of the member functions don't return values. The only reason that one would fail is if high-resolution time isn't supported on the platform. To avoid impacting performance and complicating the interface, in that case, <ACE_OS::gettimeofday> is used instead. The global scale factor is required for platforms that have high-resolution timers that return units other than microseconds, such as clock ticks. It is represented as a static u_long, can only be accessed through static methods, and is used by all instances of High Res Timer. The member functions that return or print times use the global scale factor. They divide the "time" that they get from <ACE_OS::gethrtime> by global_scale_factor_ to obtain the time in microseconds. Its units are therefore 1/microsecond. On Windows the global_scale_factor_ units are 1/millisecond. There's a macro which gives the units/second. Because it's possible that the units/second changes in the future, it's recommended to use it instead of a "hard coded" solution. Dependend on the platform and used class members, there's a maximum elapsed period before overflow (which is not checked). Look at the documentation with some members functions. On some (most?) implementations it's not recommended to measure "long" timeperiods, because the error's can accumulate fast. This is probably not a problem profiling code, but could be on if the high resolution timer class is used to initiate actions after a "long" timeout. On Solaris, a scale factor of 1000 should be used because its high-resolution timer returns nanoseconds. However, on Intel platforms, we use RDTSC which returns the number of clock ticks since system boot. For a 200MHz cpu, each clock tick is 1/200 of a microsecond; the global_scale_factor_ should therefore be 200 or 200000 if it's in unit/millisecond. On Windows ::QueryPerformanceCounter() is used, which can be a different implementation depending on the used windows HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). On some it uses the PC "timer chip" while it uses RDTSC on others.

Note:
The elapsed time calculations in the print methods use ACE_hrtime_t values. Those methods do _not_ check for overflow!

Gabe <begeddov@proaxis.com> raises this issue regarding <ACE_OS::gethrtime>: on multi-processors, the processor that you query for your <timer.stop> value might not be the one you queried for <timer.start>. Its not clear how much divergence there would be, if any. This issue is not mentioned in the Solaris 2.5.1 gethrtime man page. A RDTSC NOTE: RDTSC is the Intel Pentium read-time stamp counter and is actualy a 64 bit clock cycle counter, which is increased with every cycle. It has a low overhead and can be read within 16 (pentium) or 32 (pentium II,III,...) cycles, but it doesn't serialize the processor, which could give wrong timings when profiling very short code fragments. Problematic is that some power sensitive devices (laptops for example, but probably also embedded devices), do change the cycle rate while running. Some pentiums can run on (at least) two clock frequency's. Another problem arises with multiprocessor computers, there are reports that the different RDTSC's are not always kept in sync. A windows "timer chip" NOTE: (8254-compatible real-time clock) When ::QueryPerformanceCounter() uses the 8254 it has a frequency off about 1.193 Mhz (or sometimes 3.579 Mhz?) and reading it requires some time (several thousand cycles).

ACE_UINT32 ACE_High_Res_Timer::calibrate const ACE_UINT32  usec = 500000,
const u_int  iterations = 10
[static]
 

Set (and return, for info) the global scale factor by sleeping for usec and counting the number of intervening clock cycles. Average over iterations of usec each. On some platforms, such as Pentiums, this is called automatically during the first ACE_High_Res_Timer construction with the default parameter values. An application can override that by calling calibrate with any desired parameter values _prior_ to constructing the first ACE_High_Res_Timer instance. Beware for platforms that can change the cycle rate on the fly.

Note:
If env points to string "0" (value zero), this call will fail. This is basically a no-op on CE because there is no concept of environment variable on CE.

global_scale_factor_ is set to gsf. All High_Res_Timers use global_scale_factor_. This allows applications to set the scale factor just once for all High_Res_Timers. Check High_Res_Timer.cpp for the default global_scale_factors for several platforms. For many platforms (e.g., Solaris), the global_scale_factor_ is set to 1000 so that need not be set. Careful, a of 0 will cause division by zero exceptions. Depending on the platform its units are 1/microsecond or 1/millisecond. Use inside calculations instead a hardcoded value.
