It is detected that the section of software code is beginning to be executed. In response, the clock associated with the section of software code is started. It is then detected that the section of software code is no longer being executed. In response, the clock associated with the section of software code is stopped. The clock is stopped and restarted as the section of software code temporarily stops execution to cede control to other sections of software code.
