Description
Calculations with times, dates and durations are necessary in many different contexts. In scientific codes we are often interested in time durations, be that for measuring run-time or calculations on time points. C++11 introduced the std::chrono classes to the standard library to simplify these tasks.
In the talk, I will give an overview over the facilities provided by C and point out pit falls. Thereafter, std::chrono is introduced and its solutions and shortcomings are discussed.
