High Resolution Timers
Hello All,
I need some help on High Resolution Timers in Linux. ._POSIX_TIMERS
I have to implement a scheduler kind of application which shall receive several absolute/relative times as input from other components and send triggers to them. I am using Posix timers for the same as the same gives me granularity till 1o millisecond. I may need to schedule thousands of such timers expiring at various times. I have written sample programs to use and schedule such timers. I am using SIGEV_THREAD mechanism to get the timer expiry as singals are not reliable.
But I am not able to find how many timers can I create at a time in a process and how many (maximum) call back threads would it create at expiry of timers for a process.
If any one has done any research on the same or used the same, I would appreciate that. There is not much help available on the internet as this has been introduced after 2.4.20 version of kernel.
Expecting a response!
Regards,
Sachin
