okay bestie, welcome to the TO_CYCLES page from the Kernel API Manual — it's literally about deriving a duration in numbers of clock cycles. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ps — duration in pico-seconds ⏱️
• period_ns — clock period in nano-seconds 🕰️

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So it converts the duration in nano-seconds, then divides by the period and returns the number of clock periods. That's the whole vibe, fr fr. ✨
