I am trying to get a value for the CPU speed (Hz) that is accurate to
less than 0.1%. I need this value for perfmon- my profiling tool that
uses two special profiling registers in the Pentium and PPro. You can
time a loop, or sleep for a while and count CPU clicks- but the time
taken in a task switch does not guarantee a highly accurate (and
reproducible) CPU speed. I need to determine this speed at run time
(it is used to compute OPS/second). I hope this is the right venue in
which to ask this question.
Suggestions?
