Implementing a timer

Post by purevoid »

Hi,

I want to create a general purpose timer interface, with 1ms precision, that user apps can use.

For example, this would be used in our networking stack for detecting timeouts.

However, I'm not sure what the best route to take is. Could someone give me some tips on the best direction for this?

try the PIT: http://osdever.net/bkerndev/index.php?the_id=90
goto the section about the PIT, running at a 1000 times a second i thought was a little much(1000clocks per intrurupt x 1000 times a second = 1Mhz less speed)i did 1 hundered a second and made it think it was in ms ;)
