Re: [Algorithms] Timing problems

Hi Robert,
this driver is indeed still available. You can always check
http://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/source/lib/sysdep/os/win/aken
and I will investigate tonight where the zip file went.

Unfortunately there has been no progress in signing it - that is essential
for it to be usable by non-developers. Is there anyone who can help?

The difficulty is that it provides functions to map physical memory
(HPET is memory-mapped) and write model-specific registers, which
raises security concerns. Perhaps we can change the interface to provide
only 'safe' functionality, such as reading HPET and performance counters,
instead of allowing apps to do that and more.
Anyone willing and able to work together with me on this?
