Abstract

The development of new efficient algorithms or implemen tations requires the validation of such codes as well as their timing. We need to measure accurately the execution time of a program so we can compare one algorithm with an other. In this paper we present a framework we have de vised which allows for accurate timings even with low res olution clocks. We have used this framework for the devel opment of efficient numerical codes.
