I'm reading up about Pentium processors and their hardware counters, for eg, counting the exact number of cycles a CPU ticks while doing a particular task.
Has anyone tried playing with this? I'm not afraid of intel assembly, but I'm having trouble finding a simple example; something like "set regXXX to zero, set regYYY to 3, then read back regXXX when you're bored". Has anyone tried things like this? I'm trying to get some more accurate [down to the nearest clock cycle] information out of schedulers...
