Some 32-bit counter somewhere used when in NVLINK overflows?

66 days + 12 hours are 5,745,600,000,000,000 ns. The log2 of this is 52.351...

Javascript and some other languages only have integer precision up to 52 bits then they switch to floating point.

Curious.

Bingo! Someone decided to store timestamps in float64 which has 52 bit mantissa, and the time functions break when losing precision.

[loeg]

It's 32 bits of milliseconds, right? Hm, no, that would overflow much sooner (49.7 days).

[mook]

Isn't 32bit counter 49 days? Assuming that one was counting milliseconds, at least.

Only remember that because that's the limit for Windows 95…

[repiret]

100ns intervals. My favorite part of that story is how long after Windows 95 was released before anybody discovered the bug.
