It may be used for performance monitoring, but you should + * be aware of the following limitations. + * + * + * 1. The value is *not* monotonic. + * + * The value is reset to 0 whenever a CPU is turned off (e.g. computer + * in full hibernation, single CPU going turned off). Moreover, on + * multi-core/multi-CPU architectures, the cycles of each core/CPU are + * generally not synchronized. Therefore, is a process or thread is + * rescheduled to another core/CPU, the result of `rdtsc` may decrease + * arbitrarily. + * + * The only way to prevent this is to pin your thread to a particular + * CPU, which is generally not a good idea. + * + * + * + * 2. The value increases independently. + * + * The value may increase whenever the CPU executes an instruction, + * regardless of the process that has issued this + * instruction. Moreover, if a process or thread is rescheduled to + * another core/CPU, the result of `rdtsc` may increase arbitrarily. + * + * The only way to prevent this is to ensure that your thread is the + * sole owner of the CPU. See [1] for an example. This is also + * generally not a good idea. + * + * + * + * 3. The value does not measure time. + * + * On older architectures (pre-Pentium 4), there was no constant mapping + * between rdtsc and CPU time. + * + * + * 4. Instructions may be reordered. + * + * The CPU can reorder instructions. Also, rdtsc does not necessarily + * wait until all previous instructions have finished executing before + * reading the counter. Similarly, subsequent instructions may begin + * execution before the read operation is performed. If you use rdtsc + * for micro-benchmarking, you may end up measuring something else + * than what you expect. See [1] for a study of countermeasures. + * + * + * ** Performance + * + * According to unchecked sources on the web, the overhead of rdtsc is + * expected to be 150-200 cycles on old architectures, 6-50 on newer + * architectures.
