As part of an ongoing effort to improve our understanding of
and our external content around timekeeping and virtualization, a new
series of articles have been developed. Knowledge base article
1420 has been retired as part of this initiative.
The new timekeeping articles are:
Article ID | Title |
1006427 | Timekeeping best practices for Linux |
1007020 | Linux using TSC clocksource stops responding |
1008284 | Time falls behind in a virtual machine when the guest operating system writes to previously unwritten regions of its virtual disk |
1005861 | Time falls behind in virtual machine when the memory of the virtual machine paged from disk by the VMkernel |
1006072 | Time in a virtual machine drifts due to hardware timer drift |
1006113 | Time in a Linux 2.6 guest operating system runs faster than real time due to lost tick overcompensation |
1005953 | Time runs too fast in a Windows virtual machine when the Multimedia Timer interface is used |
1006090 | Time drifts in the virtual machine and the service console due to the HPET misreporting its frequency |
1006086 | Time in a Linux virtual machine jumps backward when using clock=pit |
1006088 | Time runs slower than real time due to lost timer interrupts |
1005802 | Determining and changing the rate of timer interrupts a guest operating system requests |
