Re: [patch] SPU timer


Ken Werner wrote:
This patch abstracts the decrementer and allows the user to register multiple
timers. If two (or more) timers expire nearly at the same it wouldn't make
sense to setup the decrementer again since it would have been expired already.
Therefore code calls all handlers whose time is smaller than the
TIMER_INTERVAL_WINDOW. The exact size of that window (in wall clock units)
doesn't really matter. If it's too big or too small the precision suffers.
The TIMER_INTERVAL_WINDOW is specified in ticks since the user specifies the timer inteval.

Thank you for your explanation. I understand.
