Linux Tickless Kernels


Latest tickless Linux kernel compiles are available for all debian based machines (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, MxLinux, Zorin, Julinux, etc), for 5.10, 5.11, and 5.12 releases.

These kernels are available in two flavors for all of the above, 1) "Client" is 1000HZ clock and fully pre-emptive, and 2) "Server" is 100HZ clock and non-preemptive. The first is optimized to minimize latency, the second to maximize thruput.

Download all three ".deb" files and install with dpkg -i *.deb

The advantage to tickless kernels is that you don't waste CPU cycles, heat, or battery life servicing clock interrupts if there is no work queued.

You can get them from: eskimo.com/kernel/ or via anonymous ftp at ftp.eskimo.com/pub/kernel/(version)/client-…
