Centos 7, 400x slower for System.nanoTime than windows

问题


I have seen and read posts on why System.nanoTime() is slower on some OSes than others, however I have never seen anything to explain the difference I am seeing now. Using JMH, I am running this benchmark. (Note: it uses System.nanoTime() as well)

@Benchmark
public long systemNanoTime() {
    return System.nanoTime();
}

On Windows 10, this takes ~25 ns.

On Centos 7, Linux 3.10 it is measured as taking ~10293 ns.

This is on the same machine, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820X CPU @ 3.60GHz

Is there an option to change the way the JDK gets the system clock?


EDIT: Based on the link provided by Todd, it appear that tsc is not available

# more /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/*
::::::::::::::
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
::::::::::::::
hpet acpi_pm 
::::::::::::::
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
::::::::::::::
hpet

after performing

echo acpi_pm > /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

The latency improved, but is still poor with a latency of 1,816 ns.

I have tried to find out if the TSC clock source can be added to Centos, but not luck yet.


EDIT: Digging a little further

# dmesg | grep -i tsc

Based on @apangin's suggestion I followed this page on adding the alternative repository for centos with the latest version

http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php

and then followed the further instructions here

https://www.tecmint.com/install-upgrade-kernel-version-in-centos-7/

after installing and rebooting

# $ dmesg | grep -i tsc

[    2.353636] clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc

suggesting the kernel is adjusting for a firmware bug.

Running the test again, I get an average latency of 40 ns using System.nanoTime() which is a 260 fold improvement. It also means that benchmarks using this measure are more meaningful.
