“In the January/February 2002 issue of Embedded Linux Journal, we examined the fundamental issues of real time with Linux. In this article we examine efforts to bring real-time capabilities to applications by making improvements to the Linux kernel. To date, the majority of this work has been to make the kernel more responsive–to reduce latency by reducing the preemption latency, which can be quite long in Linux.” Kevin Dankwardt
continues his real-time series by examining efforts to bring real-time capabilities to applications by improving the Linux kernel. Part I can be found here.

Perhaps Apple listened, when they asked people what they wanted, several weeks ago.
I’m sorry I posted my comment in the wrong thread.
… you wanted to post this in relation to that other news bit..?
Why RT-Linux? What’s the point? Latency in Linux is so bad, it would require so much work.
Linux is an outdated OS, I do not see why people continue to work on it. Why not move to something much more productive and far more advanced, like OBOS.

A class case of talking out of your ass! The standard Linux kernel already has very good latency figures. On top of that a good range of pro-audio cards are supported.
Linux is already used in many multimedia related projects. RT-Linux brings hard realtime performance to Linux, something a lot of businesses are looking for.

Yeah, and sheep tend to blaat without thinking 🙂

Woehahaha! That was funny
hey, can we get a rule around here that basicly says:
“if you are a troll and you are to stupid to mask your argumnet to sound like you have an intelgent argumnet, then you do not get to post”
becasue I realy think it would cut down on highly inflamitory comments like this one that have absolutly no basis in any reality that the world knows of.
Ok, other than common knowledge that Linux has high latencies, the little bit of the article here says exactly that.
