Sorry for replying you so late. I am using RDTSC on my machine (an Intel 
Xeon(R) Platinum 8260 CPU@2.40GHz machine with 2 NUMA nodes each of 
which has 24 cores with SMT2 enabled, so 96 CPUs in total.) to compare 
the time consumption of arithmetics vs copying. There is almost no 
difference in the time consumption between arithmetics and copying.
