愛阿華州-個人電腦HPET((高精確性事件計時員)是一規格說明英特爾和微軟共同在早的部份這decade.形成.給最新版本註明日期2004年10月.它’s表明用途是向
開始時補充和最終取代遺產8254可程式化的時間間隔計時員和即時鐘週期中斷產生功能為愛阿華州-個人電腦現時使用作為‘de-facto’計時員硬體.
HPET建築學定義一套能被作業系統使用的計時員.一計時員塊是一個單一的櫃台和多達32比較測定機和登記比賽的結合.比較測定機比較反對價值相符登記的目錄的一免費櫃台升起單調的.當輸出的時候的沿著-櫃台對等在一中斷是的相符登記中價值產生.比較測定機的每一個能使出一中斷.一最大限度的8計時員塊為總共256個計時員被支持.每一計時員塊能有不同記計時卡屬性.特有工具可以包含僅一個這些計時員的用戶電話機.一最低限度的三個計時員被要求.
規格說明含有下列的HPET建築學的方塊圖.
可以被使某些計時員能產生一週期中斷.如果一個計時員準備好是週期,每次,一相符發生因此計算這個計時員產生一interrupt.下次的它的時期被被加入相符登記.一64小塊通常很開是沿著-櫃台但是32-位工具被規格說明允許和沿著-櫃台64-位能也在32-位方式中被驅動.沿著-在一最低限度的10 MHz運作櫃台.哪一個是與更老RTC((即時鐘)相比快得多和能在一高分辨得多因此生產週期中斷.把登記和這些計時員聯繫起來被把映射到記憶空間.
(提出配置和力量界面)官能性告訴HPET記憶-的位置的作業系統BIOS使用ACPI繪製登記空間的地圖.這裡是一個一張從一塊英特爾DX48BT2((AKA BoneTrail)母板拆卸ACPI HPET桌子的例子.

事實上,時代週刊堵住((認為在AML旁邊硬體塊是disassember)請參看頁的HPET v1.0a一個人小塊的詳細故障的規格說明30.指出為了依靠一作業系統的努力獲得成功,僅一事件計時員塊需求在HPET表中被描繪.這個是此種情況這裡.為非遺產平台,Block在HPET中描繪的事件計時員歲,其提供官能性取代8254//RTC週期中斷邏輯的那個.
其它事件時代週刊塊在ACPI namespace中被描繪.這裡是從拆卸ACPI DSDT桌子有關部份.

為HPET指出分配PNPID((PNP0103).因為沒有_UID被指定,它意味著事實上沒有其它HPET計時員塊.
當這塊挑剔母板是向上在淺頂軟呢男帽11下面踢的時候,這裡是一份HPET-相關訊息outputted的清單.

當ACPI HPET桌子是閱讀的時候,第一線是outputted.當ACPI HPET桌子是變為記憶繪製的地圖的時候,第二切分節奏在身邊是outputted …/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c.當HPET遺產中斷被開始作為全球性鐘和HPET被登記的時候,下一個線是outputted.當仁檢查保證至少一計時員留待userspace((/dev/hpet)的時候,下列的線是outputted.下一個的二行輸出來自HPET裝置司機…/drivers/char/hpet.c.它展示2個計時員已經分配中斷和二做not..
當它和HPET關聯時,這裡是有關的部份從/proc/time_list輸出:

HPET司機((/dev/hpet)對即時鐘司機有一相似API.它是一項能支撐許多HPET裝置的個性裝置.仁API讓三界面被從司機出口:
hpet_register( struct hpet_task *tp, int periodic ) hpet_unregister( struct hpet_task *tp ) hpet_control( struct hpet_task *tp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg )
向HPET userspace界面在頭球/usr/include/linux/hpet.h中被定義.目前的套支持運算是:
#define HPET_IE_ON _IO('h', 0x01) /* interrupt on */
#define HPET_IE_OFF _IO('h', 0x02) /* interrupt off */
#define HPET_INFO _IOR('h', 0x03, struct hpet_info) /* get information */
#define HPET_EPI _IO('h', 0x04) /* enable periodic */
#define HPET_DPI _IO('h', 0x05) /* disable periodic */
#define HPET_IRQFREQ _IOW('h', 0x6, unsigned long) /* set frequency */
下列的例子展示怎樣使用出版界面訪問一HPET在中間2和每秒99次和認為一簡單週期信號是操作者hpet_alarm.

好,我認為我已經為你提供充足資訊,因此現在你應該你自己能離開和用HPET界面做試驗.
順便一提,並非所有VMware產品支撐HPET.現時ESX不向作業系統客人提供一事實上HPET在虛擬機機器中和在有些情形下可以是對由於計時員漂移完全嚴重損壞HPET必要的.取得詳細相關資訊請參看VMware TimeKeeping.
