Hi, I am using Time:HiRes module. I just measuring the before and after time as shown in the script below. However, in many cases the "after time" comes out less than "before time", when I run it on Windows with multi-core CPU's. I don't get this when I am running the below script on a VM which has Linux with only one processor allocated to it. Why could this be happening?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Time::HiRes; $count = 1000000; print "\nStarting loop\n"; for ($c = $count; $c >= 1; $c--) { $t3 = 0; $t4 =0; $t5 = 0; #print "\n"; #print "t3: "; printf "%.2f\n",$t3; #print "t4: "; printf "%.2f\n",$t4; #print "\n"; $t3 = Time::HiRes::time(); $t4 = Time::HiRes::time(); $t5 = $t4-$t3; #print "t5: "; printf "%.6f\n",$t5; if($t5<=0) { print"\n Value negative in count: $c"; print "\n t3: "; printf "%.6f",$t3; print "\n t4: "; printf "%.6f\n",$t4; print "\n Negative or zero value: $t5"; } } print "\nEnd of loop\n";

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
