lmbench result management(3)

NAME
insertinit, insertsort, get_results, set_results, save_median, save_minimum
    - the lmbench results subsystem

SYNOPSIS
#include ``lmbench.h''

#define TRIES 11

typedef struct { int N; uint64 u[TRIES], n[TRIES] } result_t;

void insertinit(result_t *r)

void insertsort(uint64 u, uint64 n, result_t *r)

void get_results(result_t *r)

void set_results(result_t *r)

void save_median()

void save_minimum()

DESCRIPTION
These routines provide some simple data management functionality. In most cases, you will not need these routines.

The current timing results can be accessed using the routines in timing(3). The current timing results may be modified using save_median and save_minimum.

void	insertinit(result_t *r)
    initializes the results array.

void	insertsort(uint64 u, uint64 n, result_t *r)
    insert u and n into r. Results are sorted in decreasing order by u/n.

void	get_results(result_t *r)
    get a copy of the current results.

void	set_results(result_t *r)
    save a copy r as the current results.

void	save_median()
    sets the timing results to the median of the current results.

void	save_minimum()
    sets the timing restuls to the minimum of the current results.

Results are sorted in ascending order, so the minimum value is at TRIES-1 and the maximum value is at 0.

FUTURES
Development of lmbench is continuing.
