Tick timer interrupt time.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Is there any restriction in linux kernel that timer
should always run at 10ms.
I see HZ hardcoded to 100  (100 ticks per seconds
which means 1 tick is 10 ms).

If I have to change it to some other value (5ms or 
20ms) what all I have to take care aparty from
configuring hardware timer counter.

- TIA
Taurus
