I am trying to run all the tests in the above tarball on a 2.6.13 kernel with ktimers+tod+hrt + a hrt compatibility patch which uses the normal clocks when a _HR clock is requested since ktimers treats them the same.

Is that a reasonable number of successfully created clocks?


Depends on the number of timers available on your system. But sounds
reasonable.

Actually is limited by the maximum number of signal control block. This is, I think, an RLIMIT and can be changed. Currently it is set to 1024 by default.

I have no idea about the plots. George ?

The plot code was done to get a handle on the performance of the timer list code. The plot should be showing the list overhead as a function of the number of timers. To get reasonable inteaction you may need to adjust the RLIMIT up so you can get 3000 to 6000 timers.

This code was done when we were using the hashed timer list and showed very good performance up to and above 3000 timers. The hashed timer list did NOT have a cascade issue and I still think it may be a reasonable replacement for the cascade timer list. It also had the nice ability to change the hash bucket size at configure time to improve performance as needed.
