Crate coarsetime
source ·Expand description
A crate to make time measurements that focuses on speed.
This crate is a partial replacement for the Time
and Duration
structures from the
standard library, with the following differences:
- Speed is privileged over accuracy. In particular,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE
is used to retrieve the clock value on Linux systems, and transformations avoid operations that can be slow on non-Intel systems. - The number of system calls can be kept to a minimum. The “most recent timestamp” is always kept in memory. It can be read with just a load operation, and can be updated only as frequently as necessary.
Installation
coarsetime
is available on crates.io and works on
Rust stable, beta, and nightly.
Windows and Unix-like systems are supported.
Available features:
nightly
: rust-nightly is being used; only required to run benchmarks.
