Provides 2 functions for cross platform calls for CPUtime and RealTime benchmarking.

Usage:

To benchmark an algorithm's CPU time, call getCPUTime( ) at the beginning and end, then report the difference.

double startTime, endTime;
startTime = getCPUTime( );
...
endTime = getCPUTime( );
fprintf( stderr, "CPU time used = %lf\n", (endTime - startTime) );

To benchmark an algorithm's real time use, call getRealTime( ) at the beginning and end, then report the difference.

double startTime, endTime;
startTime = getRealTime( );
...
endTime = getRealTime( );
fprintf( stderr, "Real time used = %lf\n", (endTime - startTime) );
