/* * Carry out arithmetic to explore conversion of CPU clock ticks to nsec * * When we use the CPU clock for timing, we do the following: * * 1) Calibrate the CPU clock to relate the frequency of CPU clock ticks * to actual time. * * Using gettimeofday() or clock_gettime(), count how many CPU clock * ticks occur per usec * * 2) Calculate conversion factors so that we can ultimately convert * from clocks ticks to nsec with * nsec = (ticks * clock_mult) >> clock_shift * * This is equivalent to * nsec = ticks * (MULTIPLIER / cycles_per_nsec) / MULTIPLIER * where * clock_mult = MULTIPLIER / cycles_per_nsec * MULTIPLIER = 2^clock_shift * * It would be simpler to just calculate nsec = ticks / cycles_per_nsec, * but all of this is necessary because of rounding when calculating * cycles_per_nsec. With a 3.0GHz CPU, cycles_per_nsec would simply * be 3. But with a 3.33GHz CPU or a 4.5GHz CPU, the fractional * portion is lost with integer arithmetic. * * This multiply and shift calculation also has a performance benefit * as multiplication and bit shift operations are faster than integer * division. * * 3) Dynamically determine clock_shift and clock_mult at run time based * on MAX_CLOCK_SEC and cycles_per_usec. MAX_CLOCK_SEC is the maximum * duration for which the conversion will be valid. * * The primary constraint is that (ticks * clock_mult) must not overflow * when ticks is at its maximum value. * * So we have * max_ticks = MAX_CLOCK_SEC * 1000000000 * cycles_per_nsec * max_ticks * clock_mult <= ULLONG_MAX * max_ticks * MULTIPLIER / cycles_per_nsec <= ULLONG_MAX * MULTIPLIER <= ULLONG_MAX * cycles_per_nsec / max_ticks * * Then choose the largest clock_shift that satisfies * 2^clock_shift <= ULLONG_MAX * cycles_per_nsec / max_ticks * * Finally calculate the appropriate clock_mult associated with clock_shift * clock_mult = 2^clock_shift / cycles_per_nsec * * 4) In the code below we have cycles_per_usec and use * cycles_per_nsec = cycles_per_usec / 1000 * * * The code below implements 4 clock tick to nsec conversion strategies * * i) 64-bit arithmetic for the (ticks * clock_mult) product with the * conversion valid for at most MAX_CLOCK_SEC * * ii) NOT IMPLEMENTED Use 64-bit integers to emulate 128-bit multiplication * for the (ticks * clock_mult) product * * iii) 64-bit arithmetic with clock ticks to nsec conversion occurring in * two stages. The first stage counts the number of discrete, large chunks * of time that have elapsed. To this is added the time represented by * the remaining clock ticks. The advantage of this strategy is better * accuracy because the (ticks * clock_mult) product used for final * fractional chunk * * iv) 64-bit arithmetic with the clock ticks to nsec conversion occuring in * two stages. This is carried out using locks to update the number of * large time chunks (MAX_CLOCK_SEC_2STAGE) that have elapsed. * * v) 128-bit arithmetic used for the clock ticks to nsec conversion. * */ #include #include #include #include #include #include "lib/seqlock.h" #define DEBUG 0 #define MAX_CLOCK_SEC 365*24*60*60ULL #define MAX_CLOCK_SEC_2STAGE 60*60ULL #define dprintf(...) if (DEBUG) { printf(__VA_ARGS__);
