I've calculated it this way: 2 ^ 64 * (1 second / CPU freq in Hz) = seconds to rolloveridle wrote: Wed Mar 15, 2023 3:58 pm Q How long does it take for a 64 bit counter to roll over runing at 2 and 4 ghz?
Code: Select all
Debug Pow(2,64) * (1.0 / (2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000)) / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365
only that long.luis wrote: Tue Sep 12, 2023 11:06 pmI've calculated it this way: 2 ^ 64 * (1 second / CPU freq in Hz) = seconds to rolloveridle wrote: Wed Mar 15, 2023 3:58 pm Q How long does it take for a 64 bit counter to roll over runing at 2 and 4 ghz?
The number of available bits multiplied by the time required to do one cycle in seconds.
So, for a 2 GHz CPU
gives 292 years ... If I'm not mistaken.Code: Select all

Only Fred can answer that. That being said, Fred will probably want a solution that work for both backends (ASM and C).tored wrote: Wed Sep 13, 2023 3:12 am The new C backend uses GCC, right? Possible to compile with gprof?
