Interfaces¶

double BSPLib::Time()            // (1) Modern
double BSPLib::Classic::Time()  // (2) Classic
double bsp_time()                // (3) BSP

Gets the time in seconds since for this thread since starting calculations by calling BSPLib::Classic::Begin(). This function internally uses a high precion time, however a good resolution is not guaranteed and may vary between platforms and compilers. The timings are thread specific, and may vary, due to startup times.

1. This is interface one should choose to use, and is semantically the same as the other interfaces.
2. Classic BSP function, this is the interface one should prefer to use over the old BSP interface.
3. Legacy BSP function, this interface is included for backwards compatibility with other BSP libraries.

Return Value¶

The the time in seconds for this processor since the beginning of computation.

Examples¶

(1) Modern¶

void main( int32_t, const char ** )
{
    const uint32_t nProcs = BSPLib::NProcs();

    // prints: "The processes waited for `x` seconds", where `x` is greater
    // than 5 for each thread. 
    BSPLib::Execute( []
    {
        std::this_thread::sleep_for( std::chrono::milliseconds( 5000 ) );
        std::cout << "The processes waited for " <<  BSPLib::Time() 
                  << " seconds" << std::endl;
    }, nProcs );
}

(2) Classic¶

void main( int32_t, const char ** )
{
    const uint32_t nProcs = BSPLib::NProcs();

    // prints: "The processes waited for `x` seconds", where `x` is greater
    // than 5 for each thread. 
    BSPLib::Execute( []
    {
        std::this_thread::sleep_for( std::chrono::milliseconds( 5000 ) );
        std::cout << "The processes waited for " <<  BSPLib::Classic::Time() 
                  << " seconds" << std::endl;
    }, nProcs );
}

(3) BSP¶

void main( int32_t, const char ** )
{

    const uint32_t nProcs = BSPLib::NProcs();

    // prints: "The processes waited for `x` seconds", where `x` is greater
    // than 5 for each thread. 
    BSPLib::Execute( []
    {
        std::this_thread::sleep_for( std::chrono::milliseconds( 5000 ) );
        std::cout << "The processes waited for " <<  bsp_sleep() 
                  << " seconds" << std::endl;
    }, nProcs );
