Problem summary


    

  • Comparing time intervals measured on different cores might be
slightly different. Despite clocks being monotonic, they might
be slightly out of sync. As a result, measuring of intervals
with delta smaller than time unit might be slightly off. Such
difference can cause false triggering of assertion.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • Removed the assertions and adjusted the time calculation to
prevent overrun of unsigned variable.
