Oh yes, I have isolcpus=1! No special hyperthreading disabling though. Viesturs 2011/7/6 andy pugh : > On 5 July 2011 20:56, Andrew wrote: > >> My D525MW shows up to 18000 with 2 glxgears running for several hours. >> Even base period 35000 results in realtime delay message (with 3000 ns >> driv

I have to admit that I was able to run latency test for a short time interval. Max jitter was 7300 ns. Nevertheless I am running it with a 0,75 ms servo period, which gives update interval of 1,33 kHz and I have never had any messages about realtime delays. The machine has 7i43 board, which runs 6
