- .SH NAME
- enough \- report timing interval duration
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B enough
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .B enough
- reports the timing interval duration
- .BR ENOUGH .
- The required timing interval is determined experimentally to
- ensure that the timing results are accurate to within 1% in
- the spite of the system clock resolution and measurement
- overheads.
- It is necessary to measure
- .B ENOUGH
- experimentally because system clock resolution varies widely
- across systems, from as large as 10 milliseconds to as small
- as 1 microsecond, a range of four orders of magnitude.
- .SH OUTPUT
- The output is reported in microseconds as an integer:
- .IP ""
- \fC5000\fR
- .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
- Funding for the development of
- this tool was provided by Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation.
