Discrete Time

• Windows NT clock interrupts on periodic basis

  • Typically 10-15ms, HAL-dependent
  • Can usually be set to 1ms period

• Discrete interrupts limit enforceable scheduling granularity

• So, Rialto/NT:

  • Initializes interrupt period to 1ms
  • Aligns rescheduling with clock interrupts
