To convert nanoseconds to jiffies, multiply the value by 1 × 10⁻⁷. To go the other way, multiply jiffies by 10,000,000 to get nanoseconds.
| Nanoseconds (ns) | Jiffies (10 ms) (jiffy) |
|---|---|
| 1 ns | 1 × 10⁻⁷ jiffy |
| 5 ns | 5 × 10⁻⁷ jiffy |
| 10 ns | 1 × 10⁻⁶ jiffy |
| 25 ns | 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ jiffy |
| 50 ns | 5 × 10⁻⁶ jiffy |
| 100 ns | 1 × 10⁻⁵ jiffy |
| 250 ns | 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ jiffy |
| 500 ns | 5 × 10⁻⁵ jiffy |
| 1,000 ns | 0.0001 jiffy |
| 2,500 ns | 0.00025 jiffy |
| 5,000 ns | 0.0005 jiffy |
| 10,000 ns | 0.001 jiffy |
| 100,000 ns | 0.01 jiffy |
| 1,000,000 ns | 0.1 jiffy |
Nanosecond (ns). A nanosecond is one billionth of a second — light travels about 30 cm in that time.
Jiffy (jiffy). In computing a jiffy is often one tick of the system clock, commonly 10 milliseconds.
There are 1 × 10⁻⁷ jiffies in one nanosecond.
Multiply the number of nanoseconds by 1 × 10⁻⁷. For example, 10 nanoseconds equal 1 × 10⁻⁶ jiffies.
One jiffy equals 10,000,000 nanoseconds.
0.0001 jiffies. Other common values: 100 nanoseconds = 1 × 10⁻⁵ jiffies and 10,000 nanoseconds = 0.001 jiffies.
