I wonder whether SuSE has some tool / system call to help with C programs performance tests. Basically I'd like to check whether certain ad-hoc algorithms really improve my simulation performances in terms of time and CPU usage.
Thank you in advance for your help.
MEM I'm not aware of any specific to SuSE. Without more details of your requirements, I'd start by suggesting you should be familiar with the usual

Then consider library timing calls, like clock(), gettimeofday(), and low level calls for the CPU family of your choice, like rdtsc for i386. If an evaluation version of Intel Vtune http://www.intel.com/software/products/vtune/vtune60/index.htm comes with a future SuSE, that would be something shared by relatively few distros. -- Tim Prince
