Understanding HPET main counter value
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2022 11:02 pm
I can't find anything that states this unambiguously in the documentation, unless I've missed it (which is entirely possible), but:
Does an increment of 1 in the HPET main counter value represent (at least in principle, because obviously the reality of clock implementations is constrained by physical uncertainty and tolerances and resolution, etc.) the passage of:
1 femtosecond
1 "General Capabilities and ID Register"->"COUNTER_CLK_PERIOD"
Something else
?
