Problems with QueryPerformanceCounter on Windows Server 2003 Multi-Processor Hyper-V guests? Here’s why.

A friend of mine from another group came to me with a problem he’s been having on some Windows Server 2003 guests.

They’re doing some nifty stuff with the .NET Stopwatch() class, and some WPF animations, which uses the QueryPerformanceCounter Win32 API to figure out the timing during the animations.  Apparently, when they run their code in Hyper-V, the animations look sort of… not good.

They’re using Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86, which has been allocated two virtual processors.

It turns out that our performance guru, Tony Voellm, has already encountered something like this.  From Tony’s blog post:

The root issue comes about from the Win32 QueryPerformanceCounter function.  By default it uses a time source called the TSC.  This is a CPU time source that essentially counts CPU cycles.  The TSC for each (virtual) processor can be different so there is no guarantee that reading TSC on one processor has anything to do with reading TSC on another processor.  This means back to back reads of TSC on different VP's can actually go backwards. Hyper-V guarantees that TSC will not go backwards on a single VP.

The fix for this is to modify the guest’s BOOT.INI file by adding the /USEPMTIMER switch to your operating system’s boot entry.  This tells the system to use a different timer for QueryPerformanceCounter-related tasks, and should alleviate the problem.

Now THIS looks interesting (Omega Linux)


The Red Hat community engineer behind the Fedora Games and Fedora Xfce media spins, Rahul Sundaram, had announced the release of Omega 10 Beta this past weekend. Omega is a desktop/mobile Linux distribution that is based upon Fedora but includes packages from the Livna RPM repository. The Omega 10 Beta release is roughly equivalent to the Fedora 10 Beta to be released tomorrow, but integrates multimedia support not found in Fedora along with delivering other added functionality.

A better explanation on how Microsoft reached version 7

The hoopla over Windows 7’s version continues! I want to get this right and it looks like Ed Bott has the best explanation so far about how Microsoft came to reach the 7th release of Windows. The kernel version seems to be what is confusing persons the most. Because Vista is NT 6.0 and Windows 7 is NT 6.1 not NT 7.0 persons are getting confused. The key as Ed notes is not include the consumer Windows 1x, 2x, 3x and 9x releases.

Quote:

“A few people are wondering how you get to “the seventh version” and thus qualify for the Windows 7 moniker. I don’t know the answer definitively, but can easily get to that point if I count only members of the NT family with numbers attached to their names: Windows NT 3.1 (yep, that was the very first release), 3.5, 4.0, 2000, XP, Vista. That’s six, making the next release number 7. If you try to count using the consumer versions from the Windows 9X family (or the barely usable Windows 1 and 2 releases), you’ll quickly go mad.
