Yo All! I have some solid results on minpoll=maxpoll=2. That gives a poll time of 4 seconds. This results set after about 43 hours of run time. Eric delegated me the task to fix for minnpoll=maxpoll=0. On my list to fix early next week.
First, the bbad news. On a Raspberry Pi 3B, with Uputronics
hat, minpoll=maxpoll=2 (4s) results are a bit worse than than
minpoll=maxpoll=1 (2s).
At poll=4s:
Local Clock Freq Offset: 90% 1.1ppm, Jitter 90% 0.08 us
Local Stability 90%: 2.9 ppt
PPS Offset 90% 2.2us, Jitter 90% 0.20 us
At poll=2s:
Local Clock Freq Offset: 90% 1.1ppm, Jitter 90% 0.43 us
Local Stability 90%: 2.3 ppt
PPS Offset 90% 1.6us, Jitter 90% 0.34 us
At poll=64s:
Local Clock Freq Offset: 90% 1.4ppm, Jitter 90% 3.3 us
Local Stability 90%: 2.2 ppt
PPS Offset 90% 68us, Jitter 90% 9.7 us
Poll=2s is still the bast for this hardware, but there is a little
tradeoff between offset and jitter. Since NTP is about time, not
frequency, we go with the best time.
Now the good news. On a quad XEON, with an MR-350P serial GPS:
At poll=4s:
Local Clock Freq Offset: 90% 332ppb, Jitter 90% 20.9 us
Local Stability 90%: 15,6 ppt
PPS Offset 90% 40.6us, Jitter 90% 29.7 us
At poll=2s
Local Clock Freq Offset: 90% 495ppb, Jitter 90% 16.9 us
Local Stability 90%: 27.7 ppt
PPS Offset 90% 39.0us, Jitter 90% 26.7 us
At poll=64s
Local Clock Freq Offset: 90% 570ppb, Jitter 90% 10.2 us
Local Stability 90%: 1.2 ppt
PPS Offset 90% 34.2us, Jitter 90% 16.3 us
For this hardware poll=64s is stil the bast, and both low poll times are
much worse.
Not much to see in the graphs, so I skipped them. Next time (poll=8s)
I'll put the numbers in chart form.
So, the answer to the best poll? It depends, but poll=4s does not seem
optimal for my two cases. So far poll=2s for RasPi+HAT, and poll=64s
for Xeon+Serial GPS.
