- This subtree demonstrates the use of a high resolution timer of the io3
- board on an r4k-based SGI system. The io3 clock is 16 Mhz, 32 bits.
- Period is ~ 268 seconds. Getitimer has a 100 Hz default resolution.
- With ftimer(1) and by changing FASTHZ in /usr/sysgen/master.d/kernel it
- is possible to bring the resolution up to 1800 (Power Series systems),
- i.e., 555 microseconds. This resolution is too coarse for the purpose
- of some measurements.
-
- Two sub-directories containing contrasting Linpack 100 examples using
- a regular and the high resolution timers are shown. The Linpack 100
- benchmark takes about .07 second to run and thus the use of a higher
- resolution timer is necessary.
-
- Also included is a similar io4 timer for the challenge system.
