Question

How big is time slice for a thread to run in W2008R2 ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

according to the Russinovich book the timeslice or quantum takes 12 x clock ticks on server calculated in CPU cycles (OS calculates how many CPU cycles in one tick and then count them excluding interruprts, switches etc).

I run with clockres = 1ms, so the quantum on my box is about 12ms.
