11 // The default windows timer, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime is not very precise.
12 // It is only good to ~15.5ms.
14 // QueryPerformanceCounter is the logical choice for a high-precision timer.
15 // However, it is known to be buggy on some hardware. Specifically, it can
16 // sometimes "jump". On laptops, QPC can also be very expensive to call.
17 // It's 3-4x slower than timeGetTime() on desktops, but can be 10x slower
18 // on laptops. A unittest exists which will show the relative cost of various
19 // timers on any system.
21 // The next logical choice is timeGetTime(). timeGetTime has a precision of
22 // 1ms, but only if you call APIs (timeBeginPeriod()) which affect all other
23 // applications on the system. By default, precision is only 15.5ms.
24 // Unfortunately, we don't want to call timeBeginPeriod because we don't
25 // want to affect other applications. Further, on mobile platforms, use of
26 // faster multimedia timers can hurt battery life. See the intel
27 // article about this here:
28 // http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/articles/eng/1086.htm
30 // To work around all this, we're going to generally use timeGetTime(). We
31 // will only increase the system-wide timer if we're not running on battery
32 // power.

350 // reliability: First it is maintained per processor and not synchronized
351 // between processors. Also, the counters will change frequency due to thermal
352 // and power changes, and stop in some states.
354 // (2) QueryPerformanceCounter (QPC). The QPC counter provides a high-
355 // resolution (<1 microsecond) time stamp. On most hardware running today, it
356 // auto-detects and uses the constant-rate RDTSC counter to provide extremely
357 // efficient and reliable time stamps.
359 // On older CPUs where RDTSC is unreliable, it falls back to using more
360 // expensive (20X to 40X more costly) alternate clocks, such as HPET or the ACPI
361 // PM timer, and can involve system calls; and all this is up to the HAL (with
362 // some help from ACPI). According to
363 // http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/09/02/459952.aspx, in the
364 // worst case, it gets the counter from the rollover interrupt on the
365 // programmable interrupt timer. In best cases, the HAL may conclude that the
366 // RDTSC counter runs at a constant frequency, then it uses that instead. On
367 // multiprocessor machines, it will try to verify the values returned from
368 // RDTSC on each processor are consistent with each other, and apply a handful
369 // of workarounds for known buggy hardware. In other words, QPC is supposed to
370 // give consistent results on a multiprocessor computer, but for older CPUs it
371 // can be unreliable due bugs in BIOS or HAL.
373 // (3) System time. The system time provides a low-resolution (from ~1 to ~15.6
374 // milliseconds) time stamp but is comparatively less expensive to retrieve and
375 // more reliable. Time::EnableHighResolutionTimer() and
376 // Time::ActivateHighResolutionTimer() can be called to alter the resolution of
377 // this timer; and also other Windows applications can alter it, affecting this
