我知道这个问题听起来像是一个简单的问题,并且与以前的问题重复,在其中给出了boost.timer和C++ 11的chrono工具作为答案。
但是,我的想法有些不同,在StackOverflow或其他地方都找不到答案:
在Ubuntu Linux上的(C++ 11)程序中,我使用std::async和std::future机制启动了多个线程。
在每个线程中,我都使用boost.timer()测量CPU时间。如果仅启动一个线程,则我的示例中的CPU时间约为0.39秒,而WC时间等于0.39秒。
如果我启动多个线程,则每个线程的WC时间都更长,例如16个线程的时间为0.8秒,现在每个线程的CPU时间约为6.4秒,即8 * 0.8秒(我有一个四核Xeon CPU)。
因此,每个线程的CPU时间似乎乘以(CPU核心数)* 2。
当然(?),我希望每个线程的CPU时间接近0.39秒,因为这可能仍然是该线程出于其目的使用CPU的时间。显示的更长的CPU时间(乘以“CPU数量系数”)对分别衡量每个线程的真实CPU消耗没有太大帮助。
为了说明,我附加了我的测试程序及其输出,首先是一个线程,然后是16个线程。
所以我的问题是:我该怎么做,我可以使用哪种库,函数或编程技术来获取每个线程的真实CPU使用率,而该线程使用率不应随启动的线程数而发生太大变化?

最佳答案

boost::timer的文档中未提及有关每线程测量的任何内容。幸运的是,boost::chrono包含thread_clock,它提供了每个线程在支持它的平台上的CPU使用率。它使用与std::chrono时钟相同的接口(interface),并测量线程挂钟。
在示例代码中添加以下行之后:

// Includes section
#include <boost/chrono.hpp>

// XTimer
boost::chrono::thread_clock::time_point timestamp_thread_wc;
double thread_wc_time_val;

// XTimer::start()
timestamp_thread_wc = boost::chrono::thread_clock::now();

// XTimer::stop()
const auto ns_thread_wc = boost::chrono::thread_clock::now() - timestamp_thread_wc;
thread_wc_time_val = double(ns_thread_wc.count())/1e9;

// test_thread() just after for loop
sleep(1);

// test_thread() in bottom do -> while(0) loop
std::cout << "thread cpu = " << tt.thread_wc_time_val << std::endl;
并使用其他-lboost_chrono选项进行编译,我得到:
starting 1 threads.
start thread: 0
end thread: 0
boost cpu = 0.16 wc = 1.16715
thread cpu = 0.166943


all threads finished: total wc time = 1.16754
all threads finished: total boost cpu time = 0.16
end.
和:
starting 2 threads.
start thread: 0
start thread: 1
end thread: 1
boost cpu = 0.28 wc = 1.14168
thread cpu = 0.141524
end thread: 0
boost cpu = 0.28 wc = 1.14417
thread cpu = 0.14401


all threads finished: total wc time = 1.14442
all threads finished: total boost cpu time = 0.28
end.
