<span id="id1"></span><h1>Clock Domain API<a class="headerlink" href="#clock-domain-api" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>Some applications require the capability to trace events with user-defined
timestamps and frequencies that are different from the ones generated by a
CPU. For example, you may want to instrument events that occur on a GPU.
To do this, you can create a clock domain.</p>
<p>To create a clock domain, use this following primitive:</p>
<div class="highlight-cpp notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">__itt_clock_domain</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="o">*</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">ITTAPI</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">__itt_clock_domain_create</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">__itt_get_clock_info_fn</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">fn</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kt">void</span><span class="o">*</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">fn_data</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>Parameters of the primitive:</strong></p>
<table class="docutils align-default">
<tbody>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p>[in]</p></td>
<td><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fn</span></code></p></td>
<td><p>Pointer to a callback function that retrieves alternative
CPU timestamps and frequencies and stores them in the
clock domain structure field <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__itt_clock_info</span></code>.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p>[in]</p></td>
<td><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fn_data</span></code></p></td>
<td><p>Argument passed to the callback function. Can be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NULL</span></code>.</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Tasks issued from different clock domains display on the same timeline. This
happens by the synchronization of a referenced clock domain base timestamp
(captured at the instant when the clock domain was created) and a CPU timestamp
(captured in the same instant).</p>
<p>To recalculate clock domain base timestamps and frequencies, if necessary,
for example, when a GPU frequency changes, use the following primitive:</p>
<div class="highlight-cpp notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">__itt_clock_domain_reset</span><span class="p">()</span>
</pre></div>
