From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickless_kernel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickless_kernel "The Linux kernel on s390 from 2.6.6[2] and on i386 from release 2.6.21 can be configured to turn the timer tick off... The XNU kernel from Mac OS X 10.4 on, and the NT kernel from Windows 8 on, are also tickless. The Solaris 8 kernel introduced the cyclic subsystem which allows arbitrary resolution timers and tickless operation. FreeBSD 9 introduced a "dynamic tick mode" (aka tickless). "
