On Gen8+ the loop would likely block until the next context switch happens.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Was this proposal based on a code inspection or did you maybe hit a problem correctly measuring something?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Maybe if based on inspection we can find somewhere to put a comment to clarify the assumptions above?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Br,</div><div dir="auto">- Robert</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
