- Dear colleagues,
-
- I wonder if somebody who uses PVM could help me. I am having trouble
- measuring the time taken by some application programs written in FORTRAN 77
- and run on a network of SUN4s.
-
- Apparently the execution time returned by the function ``dtime'' is that of
- the application program only and is not including the time taken by the
- daemons to actually transfer the data. Any suggestions? Shall I use a
- similar approach to that in the program ``timing.c'' that comes with PVM,
- which uses the ``gettimeofday'' routine?
-
- Thanks in advance!
