terrupts are disabled the noise level reduces 2) when interrupts are disabled delays are introduced less often 3) with interrupts enabled or disabled, large quantized delays occur Point 2) could be due to point 1). I have no idea what to try next but thanks for the advice. I think some progress was made :) Saul. ___ Xenomai-help mailing list Xenomai-help@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help

works, firewire works, etc. Actually, I just noticed that starting video capture using xawtv and the bttv driver causes an overrun in the latency test, then the worst sits on 100+ us until the test is restarted. This may be a different issue. Saul. __

t to be sure, the tests that I last posted were all performed with frequency scaling and all ACPI and power management disabled in the kernel. Saul. ___ Xenomai-help mailing list Xenomai-help@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help

I thought SMI was supposed to increase latencies, but I only see latencies < 60us at any load, unless I start video capture. Does the latency test absolutely rule out SMI as the cause? Is there any way to check whether SMI is actually disabled? Thanks, Saul. _

e way, the Intel I/O controller I currently have is ICH6, but I still don't know if my problems are SMI related. Any suggestions much appreciated. Saul. ___ Xenomai-help mailing list Xenomai-help@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help

as: is xawtv configured on your > machine to change resolution when starting capture ? Oh, well xawtv starts up in a window and does not change the screen resolution. The large latencies occur during program startup. I have seen no other program produce poor latencies in the latency test program.
