OS_CYCLES_TO_NSEC

Syntax
#include <ultra64.h>
u64 OS_CYCLES_TO_NSEC(OSTime cycles);

Arguments

• cycles is the number of CPU count register cycles to convert to nanoseconds

Return Value
The number of nanoseconds

Explanation
The macros OS_NSEC_TO_CYCLES, OS_USEC_TO_CYCLES, OS_CYCLES_TO_NSEC, and OS_CYCLES_TO_USEC convert to/from CPU count register cycles to nanoseconds or microseconds.

OS_NSEC_TO_CYCLES and OS_USEC_TO_CYCLES are cpp(1) macros that respectively convert from nanoseconds and microseconds to CPU Count register cycles.

OS_CYCLES_TO_NSEC and OS_CYCLES_TO_USEC are macros that respectively convert from CPU Count register cycles to nanoseconds and microseconds.

CPU Count register ticks are the units used by the timer services osGetTime and osSetTimer. This counter increments at 46.875 Mhz and each counter tick represents approximately 21.33 nanoseconds.

Note that all types are 64-bit quantities, so formatted print functions must use the "%ll" size format to print these values correctly.
