<div dir="ltr">You can adapt the source code of timer:tc/1 to use nano_seconds timing rather than microseconds, but I would be weary you can get accurate timing at the nanosecond scale by running a single experiment. You would have to run more rounds and divide in order to figure out what a real timing would be.<div><br></div><div>Also, you should collect many samples, and do bootstrapping on the dataset in order to figure out if the average is a stable number, or if it is likely to have been perturbed by something.</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Nov 21, 2015 at 8:23 AM, Felix Gallo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:felixgallo@gmail.com" target="_blank">felixgallo@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/timer.html#tc-1" target="_blank">http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/timer.html#tc-1</a></p>
