Case Study<br />

The kernels such as Linux, Windows, Mac OS, Micro-kernel oper<strong>at</strong>es as time. Therefore, it<br />

is the timer which is the most important factor of kernel. Occurrence of timer delay can be<br />

the problem of kernel itself, but it can be problem of middleware or applic<strong>at</strong>ion. Especially,<br />

in case of RTOS or embedded system, timer is much more important.<br />

In this thesis, we measured the l<strong>at</strong>ency of High Resolution Timer (HRTimer) [6] in the<br />

Linux kernel. We found out and analyzed the l<strong>at</strong>ency of HRTimer in kernel by using KAS. It<br />

was proved th<strong>at</strong> when analyzing by proposed system, it is possible to find problem quickly<br />

and analyze accur<strong>at</strong>ely.
