Hi all.

Am I being dim here? I'm trying to search the forums, in this case for everything relating to the /timing option. I go to the Search page, enter timing into the keyword box, hit Search and get 6 results, all of which have "timing" in them - great. However, if I google on "ftn95 timing" I come to a post from Sept 2006 "ftn95 /timing option" (http://forums.silverfrost.com/viewtopic.php?t=402) which does not appear in my search list but sure does containg the timing keyword.

I've not added any additional search filters - it should be searching everything but seems to be limited, perhaps by date. Has anyone got any helpful suggestions ?

Thanks,
Alan

I can't comment on the forum search, but would recommend your use of /timing, which I have found very useful.

A tip for easy use is I collected all the code that I wanted to compile with /timing into a single .obj, by listing all the source code files as includes in a single .f95 file. I omitted the routines(files) that I did not want to time in detail from this include list.
If you time some low level routines (such as vector products) that are called many times (say 10^9 times), there is a run time overhead for each call, which can explode the run time and may be better monitored by timing the higher level routines that call them.

It's a lot easier than some implementations I've use in the past.
