 |

Hello,
I've got a simple code like this:
| Code: | program test
c Variables
integer, save :: nbl, nblcks, ijk, k, l, n, n2
integer, dimension(:), allocatable, save :: ijkpr
real(kind(zzz)), dimension(:,:), allocatable, save :: vvect
real rrnorm
real, dimension(2) :: tarray
integer :: total, t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, clock_rate, clock_max
real :: cputime, gputime
c Setting the variables values
nblcks = 10000000
k=10
l = 110
rrnorm = 3.5
allocate(ijkpr(200))
allocate(vvect(1000,1000))
do n=1,200
ijkpr(n) = n
enddo
do n=1,1000
do n2=1,1000
vvect(n,n2) = n2+n
enddo
enddo
c Loop
call system_clock(t1, clock_rate, clock_max)
do nbl=1,nblcks
do n=k,l
vvect(n,1)=vvect(n,1)*rrnorm
enddo
enddo
call system_clock(t2, clock_rate, clock_max)
cputime = 1000.0*real(t2-t1)/real(clock_rate)
write(*,*) 'CPU = ', cputime, ' ms, vvect(100,1)=', vvect(100,1)
end |
And the time results in consecutive code executions are:
CPU = 1125.0 ms
CPU = 0 ms
CPU = 1110.0 ms
CPU = 0 ms
CPU = 0 ms
...
Why sometimes the same code takes 1125 ms and sometimes 0 ms? It is all running on the same machine, same system, just one execution right after another.
I tried different time measurement functions (etime, cpu_time, system_clock, etc) and there is always a similar result - zeros appear sometime. There is the same situation also with totaly different codes.
Thank for clearing me up this problem. |
