Consider RDTSC-based clock for Icelake

Open mikbras opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

The RDTSC instruction is available on Icelake servers and may provide an alternative to the clock thread and may provide better clock resolution.

The current clock implementation performs fairly well but consumes one thread. It is difficult to say what the performance boost would be by eliminating that thread.
