SUMMARY

The discussion centers on measuring User time and System time in programming. Ed inquired about a simple program or library to achieve this, and subsequently shared a solution found at a specific URL, which points to a C++ Timer implementation. This resource provides a straightforward method for developers to measure execution time effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of C++ programming language
  • Familiarity with performance measurement concepts
  • Basic knowledge of system time and user time definitions
  • Experience with using external libraries in C++
NEXT STEPS

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has a simple program (they can post) that can measure the User time and System time used by a program, or what library will be useful to creating this program or function?

Thanks,

Ed.
