lmbench result management(3) LMBENCH lmbench result management(3)

insertinit, insertsort, get_results, set_results, save_median, save_minimum - the lmbench results subsystem

#include ``lmbench.h''

#define TRIES 11

typedef struct { uint64 u, n } value_t;

typedef struct { int N; value_t v[TRIES]; } result_t;

int sizeof_result(int N)

void insertinit(result_t *r)

void insertsort(uint64 u, uint64 n, result_t *r)

result_t* get_results()

void set_results(result_t *r)

void save_median()

void save_minimum()

These routines provide some simple data management functionality. In most cases, you will not need these routines.

The current timing results can be accessed using the routines in timing(3). The current timing results may be modified using save_median and save_minimum.

returns the number of bytes to allocate for a result_t which contains N results.
initializes the results array.
insert u and n into r. Results are sorted in decreasing order by u/n.
get a copy of the current results.
save a copy r as the current results.
sets the timing results to the median of the current results.
sets the timing restuls to the minimum of the current results.

Results are sorted in ascending order, so the minimum value is at TRIES-1 and the maximum value is at 0.

Development of lmbench is continuing.
