Rdtsc
Python wrapper around the RDTSCP instruction to get the cycle counter on X86
Install / Use
/learn @Roguelazer/RdtscREADME
This is a crappy ctypes-based wrapper around the X86 RDTSC instruction to get cycle timers.
It will only work on x86-64 systems and probably requires GCC to install. Caveat emptor.
Usage
import rdtsc
start = rdtsc.get_cycles()
# do stuff
end = rdtsc.get_cycles()
