I am an italian master student in computer science. I am using a Convex
Exemplar Spp 1200 to develop a parallel lexical C analyzer (written in 
C) for my master thesis.
I need to measure the analyzer performance (in particular CPU time) but 
i have problems with the measurement tools i have seen so for.
Tool Cxpa and function clock return the sum of the process user and 
system cpu time, but i need only the PROCESS USER CPU TIME.
I was wondering whether someone know of any functions that provide the 
information i am looking for.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
