tictoc-fortran

TicToc routine - Fortran

Usage

Copy the file src/tictoc_mod.f90 or add the package as a dependence using the Fortran Package Manager (Fpm):

[dependencies]
tictoc-fortran.git = "https://github.com/wcota/tictoc-fortran"

Import the module using use tictoc_mod. This package provides the tictoc_t object. Create one using

type(tictoc_t)    :: ctimer

Reset the timer:

call ctimer%reset()

Use the tic to start the clock, and toc to pause it:

call ctimer%tic()
! do something
call ctimer%toc()

! do anything else

call ctimer%tic()
! do something
call ctimer%toc()

To see how much time was spent doing something, use the real variable t_tot:

write(*,*) ctimer%t_tot

A possible usage would be to stop the simulation after x samples if the program is taking too long:

call ctimer%reset()
call ctimer%tic()
sampling: do sample=1,1000
    if (ctimer%now() > 5.0_dp * 60.0_dp) exit sampling
    ! dynamics
enddo sampling

Example

An example is available at example/example.f90. To run it with Fpm, use fpm run --example. Expected output:

Project is up to date
CPU TIME = 
0.35635800000000001
Now measuring inside the loop...
CPU TIME = 
0.57127699999999348

Tested with gfortran, ifort and ifx compilers.
