That said, the 10.3 kernels on i386 machines are tickless. The timer interrupt is set up on an on-demand basis, so the HZ value really shouldn't matter. Tickless support hasn't been implemented for x86_64 yet, though.
rt is tickless, even on x86_64. But I've gone with the following layout: -regular 100 Hz -default 300 Hz [http://lwn.net/Articles/208411/] -rt 1000 Hz
Thanks for all the info and links :D in short the rt kernel has a default Timer frequency of 1000 HZ and other patches to improve performance right? -- Regards, Aniruddha Please adhere to the OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
