How would I stop a while loop after n amount of time?

timeout function in Julia

Timed loop

I’m running a loop asynchronously. I’d like to have each iteration take at most max_ns nanoseconds. Here’s what i have so far: function wait4it(t₀, max_ns) t₁ = time_ns() t = t₁ - t₀ if t < max_ns s = 1e-9*(max_ns - t) sleep(s) end nothing end max_ns = 10^9 @async while true t₀ = time_ns() sleep(0.1) # and things wait4it(t₀, max_ns) end But I’m wondering if there is anything similar/better out there?

Break function on time limit

Is there a way to break a function after a time limit? I don’t have any access to the function. FYI (if it helps) I want to break a JuMP solve after some seconds without knowing which solver performs the task. (the solver is chosen by the user) The best would be to have try catch block where I can somehow specify the time limit in.
