Abstract
In an embodiment of the invention, a method for a phase adjusted delay loop, includes: determining a requested delay value for a code path; and executing a delay loop in the code path in order to obtain a loop delay value that is in phase with the requested delay value. The act of executing the delay loop may include: executing at least one No-operation instruction (NOP) to adjust the loop delay value and to adjust the phase of the loop delay value.
Claims19
A method for a phase adjusted delay loop, the method comprising:
- determining a requested delay value for a code path;
- and
- executing a delay loop in the code path in order to obtain a loop delay value that is in phase with the requested delay value.
An apparatus for a phase adjusted delay loop, the apparatus comprising:
- a computer system configured to determine a requested delay value for a code path and execute a delay loop in the code path in order to obtain a loop delay value that is in phase with the requested delay value.
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- a machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions to:
- determine a requested delay value for a code path;
- and
- execute a delay loop in the code path in order to obtain a loop delay value that is in phase with the requested delay value.
An apparatus for a phase adjusted delay loop, the apparatus comprising:
- means for determining a requested delay value for a code path and for executing a delay loop in the code path in order to obtain a loop delay value that is in phase with the requested delay value.
