I want to calculate the running time of my program, which runs for a
long time(~ a day). This is what I am doing in my code:
#include <time.h>
clock_t tend, tstart;
tstart = clock();
\* Body of Code *\
tend = clock();
Running Time = ((double) (tend - tstart) / (double) CLOCKS_PER_SEC) );
But for my codes which run for a long time, I am not getting the right
value for the running time variable. Please help me out!!
Thanks

>I want to calculate the running time of my program, which runs for a long time(~ a day).
clock() measures CPU time, which is a lot like football or basketball
game clock time: it doesn't run all the time.
#include <time.h> clock_t tend, tstart; tstart = clock();
\* Body of Code *\
^^ this is a syntax error tend = clock(); Running Time = ((double) (tend - tstart) / (double) CLOCKS_PER_SEC) );
^ extra )
Check out the data type of clock_t and the value of CLOCKS_PER_SEC.
If, for example, clock_t is 32 bits signed and CLOCKS_PER_SEC is
1,000,000 then clock_t overflows at about 0.6 hours.
But for my codes which run for a long time, I am not getting the right value for the running time variable. Please help me out!!
How do you know it's wrong? If it's negative, it probably overflowed.
If it's just too low, well, a program sitting at an input prompt
for a few decades might well accumulate only a few milliseconds of
CPU time, if that much. Or it might have overflowed.
The only solution I know of to overflow is to take samples more often
(yes, this can be a pain), convert to better units in a floating-point
variable, and add up the results.

Check the values of CLOCKS_PER_SEC and the type of clock_t in your
implementation. Is your implementation capable of handling times that
are a day apart? For example, if clock_t is a 32 bit integer, and
CLOCKS_PER_SEC = 1000000, then this will not work.

You can probably use a shell command instead (e.g. `time' under GNU/Linux).

Gprof on Linux is also better.I think probably overflow occurred. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
I have a program which will continue to run for several days. When it is
running, I can't do anything except waiting because it takes over most
of the CUP time.
Is it possible that the program can save all running data to a file when
I want it to stop, and can reload the data and continue to run from
where it stops when the computer is free ?
