Category: None >Group: v3.2.0 >Status: Closed Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Rony G. Flatscher (orexx) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Increase Time8) resolution to nanoseconds Initial Comment: Hi there, the present time resolution in the TIME()-BIF indicates microseconds, but it still is restricted to milliseconds. In today's age of extremely fast processors in quite a few cases no meaningful timing is possible anymore as many times the elapsed time is 0 or 0.001 due to the coarse resulotion. In the .Net world the DateTime datatype at present is using a resolution of 100 nanosceconds. Given today's processor power I would request a resolution of one nanosecond to make measuring elapsed time most accurate and future safe at the same time. ---rony ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rick McGuire (bigrixx) Date: 2007-10-03 07:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1125291 Originator: NO Notice: This RFE is slated to be rejected. Reason: See the RFE item in the SourceForge Tracker system for the rejection reason. To appeal this rejection please contact the Appeals Committee via Mr. Chip Davis oor...@oo... All further correspondence on this RFE should be directed to the Appeals Committee and MUST include this RFE number. The decision of the Appeals Committee is final. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rick McGuire (bigrixx) Date: 2007-10-03 07:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1125291 Originator: NO The microsecond resolution is embodied in the formats used by the Date() and Time() formats, and cannot easily be increased beyond that limit. Also entering into this is the limits on what resolution is available from the underlying operating system, which on windows is some where between hundreds and milliseconds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rony G. Flatscher (orexx) Date: 2006-10-26 07:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=662126 Hi there, a brief overview of timing and time resolutions can be gotten from <http://icu.sourceforge.net/userguide/universalTimeScale.html>. Please note, that starting with Java 5 (1.5) there is also "java.lang.System.nanoTime()" <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#nanoTime()> for measuring elapsed time available.
