forex: the TSC on a Geode is very accurate when the chip is running, but due to a bug, it loses clocks when the scheduler takes the processor idle. Despite its "accuracy/precision/insert-your-favorite-virtue" its completely unsuitable for timekeeping. an inaccurate, but consistently correctable clock is. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
