How to count Number of Instructions executed in One Second

[coaassign]

Hi all

I need to get a count the no of instructions [ even assembly language
instructions ] executed in a for loop in exactly one second...
Can any one please give me the code for this...

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Please give me the code for this in C language....

Your problem is not solvable by means the C language provides. It can
(maybe) be solved by means your architecture provides (using inline
assembly). But as this is architecture specific and you don't provide
which architecture you're working on - lost cause.

You don't even provide a name... so... lost cause anyways, I guess.

One method would be:

1) Count the number of instructions in your loop by getting
an assembly listing from the C compiler.
2) Run the loop for 100 seconds.

3) Divide.

4) Done.

3) Divide.

Well, that should be actually

Run the loop 100 times!

Sorry

This is with high likelyhood not the actual number of executed
instructions, as on any modern operating system the sleeping process
will be preempted and instructions will be executed by the
scheduler/operating system/other tasks.

It would be the correct count if the process had exclusive access to the
CPU.

In any case, the problem is poorly specified.

Obvious. But I thought that the answer referred to the number
of assembly instructions executed by the program...

If the loop is short, the machine is lightly loaded, running 100
loop executions could get below the task time slot and be
executed without any task switch, but that is pure speculation.

You are right that the problem is poorly specified.

No need. Since you're (apparently) running under Linux just check the
value for "BOGO MIPS" printed by the kernel as it boots up. Do 'dmesg |
grep MIPS' to view it.

THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS.....

Write a program (AND/OR manipulate) existing DOS program so as to
count the number of

instructions executed by the p4 processor in the IBM thinkcenter
PC .You can

show any instruction mix executed . Count the exact number of each
distinct

instruction in the total mix executed in one second .After
demonstrating the setup &

the count explain the counts thoroughly....

THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION MIX CAN BE ANYTHING....

I am sorry I told you anything. You should do your own homework!
The purpose of homework is to make you learn the issues discussed
in the lessons. If you cheat, you do not learn anything.

Do not cheat.
