The cycle counters can give us transaction level timing. We can see how expensive the first/last transactions are and what the variation is during the run. gettimeofday() can't do that on most platforms. AFAICT, only PPC has real wierdness with get_cycles(). And if that can't be fixed, then we will have to use gettimeofday() on PPC or make it a compile time option. thanks, grant _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
