Re: [ECOS] Functions to consume CPU time in x86

[Cristiano Ligieri Pereira <cpereira at ics dot uci dot edu>]

And of course I want to be able to specify that I want to keep the CPU
busy for specific X (mili/nano)seconds and not only keep it busy for some
randon amount of time.

I looking for functions like this.

consume10ns() or consume1ns()

or consume1ms() or consume10ms()

Thanks again,

Cristiano.
