Adamgundy: Why don't you take a few minute and see who did the design work and wrote the codes for the timers and tickless kernel. You should thank the people who did the work and the companies they work for, for sponsoring them.

Linux captures the 'green' flag, beats Windows 2008 power-saving measures (Network World) Posted Jun 10, 2008 14:32 UTC (Tue) by adamgundy (subscriber, #5418) [Link] @j0el my point was that the author in the original article talks about 'tickless kernels' as some magic thing that may exist on the distant horizon, but it is actually already done, working, and in use on millions of desktops and servers... as far as the rest of your comment I'm very well aware of who implemented it and which company pays their salary. thanks for the comment. my point was that the 'enterprise distributions' could do with catching up a kernel rev or two since 'green' is the new in thing for datacenters. it's not too much use implementing something then not using it for years...
