How can I write a C program to execute for a certain number of processor seconds?
I need a C program that would execute for a precise number of CPU seconds passed in as a parameter. I need such a program in order to test code that monitors a process' CPU usage.
Example:
busywait x
Should run for x seconds on my processor.
