45:56riskyfive Say we have 200 cycles (delta_mcycle). We divide by the ticks (delta_mtime). So now we have number of cycles per tick. We multiply by the number of ticks per second (mtime_freq) so now we have cycles per second

49:29riskyfive So 201 cycles / 10 ticks = floor(20.1) cycles per tick. We take the 20 and multiply by, say, 100 ticks per second so we have 2000 cycles per second

56:31riskyfive delta_mtime is what determines what the conceptual decimal point is. Say delta_mtime = 100, if you do x % delta_mtime and get 33, then the 33 means you don't have a whole delta_mtime unit. But after you multiply it by something you might get >= 100, so when you divide by delta_mtime again you get >= 1

1:00:05riskyfive Think of delta_mtime as being a percentage. If you get 0.33 that's 33%. You will only get an integer again if you cross the 100% line
