Note on Technical Writing
Writing is hard and essential for any researcher, considering the fact that it is the sole objective of research itself (i.e. to propagate knowledge). Many of us fall-behind in this aspect (so as me) and to help alleviate this are guidelines or best practices written by experts. Two of them that I find useful are;
1. NASA - Technical Report Writing
2. Style and Ethics of Communication in Science and Engineering
3. Note on Literature Review
Happy writing...

Instrumentation using gprof
gprof is a free performance analysis tool on Linux. One is always concerned about the efficiency of the code developed. Also, timing it manually might be tedious. To elevate this we could use performance analysis tools to time the code automatically and remove possible bottlenecks. This process is called profiling and there are other advanced tools which are available. However, gprof is a start point for any beginner or early analysis.
Ok, quickly getting to the topic. The following steps could be...
