Dave,

fwiw, on v1.10, we likely use the number of cycles / cpu freq.

see opal_sys_timer_get_cycles in
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-release/blob/v1.10/opal/include/opal/sys/amd64/timer.h

I cannot remember whether this is a monotonic timer.
(e.g. MPI_Wtime() invoked on a given cpu is always lower or equal to
MPI_Wtime() invoked later and on *any* cpu)
that could be the reason why we moved to clock_gettime() in master.

George,
do you have a more precise recollection ?
shall we backport the us of clock_gettime() into v1.10 ?


Cheers,

Gilles
