Description
The most high resolution timing in NodeJs
This module provide cross platform function rdtsc().
rdtsc() return counts the number of cycles since computer start
If you run in on Windows it will call C++ function __rdtsc() that call processor command RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter)
(rdtsc() - rdtsc()) is always < 0
Notice: you should not use parallel threads since you calc performance
Install
npm i rdtsc -SFeatures
RDTSC
var { rdtsc } = require('rdtsc')
console.log(rdtsc()) // 3864063236708616 cycles
console.log(rdtsc() - rdtsc()) // -2971 cycles, minimum = -130 cyclesCalc Performance
Accuracy: +/- 4 cycles
