Abhishek,
That frequency variable doesn't need to be the CPU frequency.
If you look at
opal/mca/timer/linux/timer_linux_component.c:opal_timer_linux_find_freq()
you will see the initialization for opal_timer_linux_freq.
In the case of PPC the time stamp counter runs at a frequency, distinct
from
Hi,
In amd64, we have rdtsc instruction which uses a timer updated at cpu
frequency. The frequency is given by variable, opal_timer_linux_freq which
is the cpu frequency.
Consider the case where a timer updated at non-cpu frequency is to be used.
Question: In this case, how do we specify the fr
