Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for providing a variable tick rate for the kernel of an operating system. In one example, the method includes receiving, by a processing device, a desired tick rate for a kernel of an operating system, comparing the desired tick rate with a default tick rate, and updating a tick rate parameter of the kernel with the desired tick rate when the desired tick rate is different from the default tick rate.
