Higher precision for *CPU-TIME

We need a higher precision for *CPU-TIME so that we can determine the CPU time consumed by individual RPC requests in a batch RPC server. The vast majority of our transactions are faster than 10ms.

We currently do this using an assembler program, which we would like to replace by Natural code.

This would significantly reduce the number of TCB switches, with 50 million+ transactions per day (2 switches each could be eliminated).

    Hello Eli,

    thanks for the good news.

    A new system variable will be fine for us, ideally with a precision of microseconds.


    Best regards

    Alex

    Hello Alexander,

    Thank you for raising this idea, we find it very valuable.

    During our first initial discussion we plan to introduce new system variable e.g. *CPU-TIMEX - different object type.

    What level of precision did you had in mind? Will a new system variable fulfill your requirement?
