Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.

As (C) looked like a kernel rebuild, I started with (D) and (E). ## 5. I also rewrote this in C and called gettimeofday(2) directly: $ cat gettimeofdaybench.c. I happened to be speaking at a technical confering while still debugging this, and mentioned what I was working on to a processor engineer. include <sys/time.h>

Dr. Damon McDougall gave a short presentation on this study at the IXPUG 2018 Fall Conference ( pdf ) — I originally wrote these notes to help organize my thoughts as we were preparing the IXPUG presentation, and later decided that the extra details contained here are interesting enough for me to post it. An illustrative example: .
