Re: [Xen-devel] HPET/PIT timer accuracy

We're not relying on TSC synchronisation between CPUs. They

stable as possible. I'd expect to get <1ppm stability from a
crystal source at constant temperature, no problem.
I'd wager the TSC is stable and it's the HPET that's wandering...
We'll probably just have to add more damping on the re-calibration.
I haven't done any further tests to see how low the frequency of
wandering goes. Perhaps we'll find the platform timer is more stable
over e.g., 60s periods.
