Überblick
Microlibrary for counting CPU cycles
Verlauf
libcpucycles is a small timing library for counting CPU cycles across multiple CPU and operating-system counter mechanisms. It comes from the cr.yp.to ecosystem associated with Daniel J. Bernstein's performance-oriented cryptographic and systems software.
The official introduction describes libcpucycles as a microlibrary for cycle counting, with a simple API: include `cpucycles.h`, call `cpucycles()`, and link with `-lcpucycles`. The project abstracts machine-level counters such as amd64 TSC/PMC, ARM counters, RISC-V counters, and OS fallbacks such as `mach_absolute_time`, `perf_event`, `CLOCK_MONOTONIC`, and `gettimeofday`.
The release notes visible in the 20250925 documentation show active portability work after the early 2023 tarballs, including s390x counter support, FreeBSD support, arm32-1176 support, a `cpucycles-info` man page, and macOS build fixes.
Adoption is concentrated among developers who need reproducible low-overhead timing for cryptography, benchmarking, and systems tuning. Its appearance in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora-family packages, and Nix reflects a package-manager role as a tiny measurement primitive rather than an end-user application.
Programmers use libcpucycles when they want an architecture-aware cycle counter without writing per-platform assembly and fallback code. Package users also get tools such as `cpucycles-info` and `cpucycles-open`, which help inspect available counters and support benchmarking workflows.
libcpucycles is package-nerd interesting because it packages the messy hardware reality of cycle counters into a minimal library. It is deliberately small, but its value is in the portability table: one dependency handles CPU families and OS timing APIs that would otherwise become build-system conditionals in every benchmark.
