hello all,
On my Intel Pentium 4 with linux-2.6.23-rc8-rt1, I am getting :
Interrupt Latency result
------------------------
MAX latency : 12.570 micro-seconds
MIN latency : 3.352 micro-seconds
AVG latency : 4.190 micro-seconds
Total Samples : 32583
Please review this interrupt latency module and give your feedback.
Thank you,
Jaswinder Singh.
