程序执行时间与代码执行时间评估/Benchmark process execution time and code execution time
1 评估进程执行时间
Shell环境下使用time评估。bash shell有内置的time,系统提供功能更多的time命令 (GNU Time,GNU Time Git,安装位置一般是/usr/bin/time)。GNU Time基于 \(gettimeofday\)和\(wait3\)实现。
~$ time sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=4K count=1K iflag=direct 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 4194304 bytes (4.2 MB) copied, 0.370473 s, 11.3 MB/s real 0m0.380s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.004s
~$ /usr/bin/time --format "Time:\n\t%E real,\n\t%U user,\n\t%S sys" sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=4K count=1K iflag=direct 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 4194304 bytes (4.2 MB) copied, 0.39669 s, 10.6 MB/s Time: 0:00.40 real, 0.00 user, 0.01 sys
2 代码段执行时间评估
2.1 Methods
使用\(time\)、\(gettimeofday\)、\(clock\_gettime\)获取秒、微秒、纳秒级别的时间精度,但上述三者都触发系统调用或vdso。使用内嵌汇编和CPU指令RDTSC获取更高精度(与 CPU主频相同)的时间精度。
2.2 Test Results
通过测试代码,在我的T430(CPU 2.89Hz Cores 4)上2594 TSC为1微秒(10-6),2.8 TSC 为1纳秒(这和CPU的频率2.8GHz是一致的)。系统调用成本大概240-310 TSC,而vdso(虚拟系统调用)110-130 TSC。vdso是系统调用成本的40%左右。传递编译参数\(-static\)使用系统调用,不传递该参数默认为动态链接,在支持vdso系统上优先使用vdso。
