Allows the configuration of the timer frequency. It is customary
|
||
|
|
to have the timer interrupt run at 1000 Hz but 100 Hz may be more
|
||
|
|
beneficial for servers and NUMA systems that do not need to have
|
||
|
|
a fast response for user interaction and that may experience bus
|
||
|
|
contention and cacheline bounces as a result of timer interrupts.
|
||
|
|
Note that the timer interrupt occurs on each processor in an SMP
|
||
|
|
environment leading to NR_CPUS * HZ number of timer interrupts
|
||
|
|
per second.

100 Hz is a typical choice for servers, SMP and NUMA systems
|
||
|
|
with lots of processors that may show reduced performance if
|
||
|
|
too many timer interrupts are occurring.

250 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
|
||
|
|
while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
|
||
|
|
on SMP and NUMA systems. If you are going to be using NTSC video
|
||
|
|
or multimedia, selected 300Hz instead.

300 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
|

while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
|

on SMP and NUMA systems and exactly dividing by both PAL and
|

NTSC frame rates for video and multimedia work.

1000 Hz is the preferred choice for desktop systems and other
|

systems requiring fast interactive responses to events.
