Boost.Timer has some problems, I've seen it measure CPU time instead of wall time on some platforms and I'm not sure about the accuracy.

I don't know about the MPI timer, but I would go with Chrono until Stopwatches is out.

Do you know anything about "CPU cycling"? Can I detect the CPU cycles which are elapsed during runtime? I need a "time value" for detecting runtime only. Thanks Phil
