<agent_handle>.agent-poll-interval

Synopsis

<agent_handle>.agent-poll-interval [ms]

Description

Set the polling interval for this handle's Simics Agent. When an agent is sleeping in idle mode, it will wake up periodically and poll for new commands. The polling interval has no effect on a working agent with pending commands.

Without the ms argument, the command just prints and returns the current poll-interval time, in milliseconds.

With the ms argument, specify an interval in milliseconds between each polling attempt. The interval can be set from 10 ms to 1 hour.

Remember, the polling interval is a trade-off between the responsiveness of a sleeping agent, and the performance taxing on a target system with a "restless" agent. Remember also, the exact interval will depend on how the target system schedules user-space processes.

This command can be posted on any agent_handle object that is associated with the wanted Simics Agent.
