Hello,

I am planning to measure interprocessor interrupt latency on my DP server system. Is there any existing tool that will allow me to do that? If no, what Linux system calls are available?

Thank you

I am not aware of any Linux syscalls that predictably send IPIs.
However on Windows you can use FlushProcessWriteBuffers() function. It must send IPIs to all other PEs (processors, cores), and I think wait for reply IPIs.
