We are developing a design environment for real-time systems where the progress (consumption) of real (physical) time need be measured. Right now, the UNIX "clock" function (clock(3c)) is used to return the amount of CPU time used. Unfortunately, the resolution of the clock is 16.667 milliseconds, as stated in the man page, which is too low for many applications. We would like to know if there are any other systems (system function, OS, or hardware) that provide clock resolution in microsecond level. The environment is currently implemented on Sun 3 & Sparc workstations. Please reply by email, and I will summarize. Thanx in advance.
