How to get a very accurate time when CPU does heavy tasks?

[lialie]

Hi, all
Suppose have two threads, one thread(A) does heavy calculations, the
other one(B) must get a accurate time.Thread B can't cost too much
cpu's resource, but it must trigger an event at very time.I do it in
Windows XP, How to?

Thanks,

This group only deals with ISO C. Since the code to do what you want
is system specific, please ask in a Windows group like comp.os.ms-
windows.programmer.win32.

Start by asking in a group where windows specifics are topical since
this cannot be done in standard C. There are lots of groups in
microsoft.* one of which will probably do.

He'd probably be better off in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 -
many Windows experts avoid the Microsoft groups like the plague.

It is rude to barge in on a conversation with a new topic. It is
especially rude to do so when listening for a short time would have
make it obvious that it was off-topic. It is even worse when there
are many public notices available as to what is and is not topical
and with answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ).

Which conversation is the OP barging in on?

General operating systems cannot do this. They are good at resuming a
task (eventually) after a specified time, but not at running a task at a
specified time. Various real time operating systems, or real time
components added to general operating system. Look for real-time
programming in your operating system documentation, or a real-time
operating system.

Wow. A sailboat.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I know about real time programming very little, so lost my way.
And sorry for posting a digression here.

Ignore Falconer. He's on a one man crusade to prove he's the rudest
entity on usenet.
