[erlang-questions] Time Granularity on Windows

[Rob A'Court]

Ok, fine. Thank you!


We’ve done a bit more research and it looks like it is possible to get better granularity on Windows, but only by making a windows kernel call:

Is this a problem with something I am doing or with the granularity of the windows system clock?

It is a problem with the granularity of the monotonic time source on Windows.


Is there another approach I could take to get accurate (~microsecond granularity) timestamps on windows and linux?


Maybe try os:timestamp on windows? I can't remember what it falls back onto, but as it does not have any monoticity guarantees it may give better values.
