RTLinux Boasts Single-Digit uSec Responsiveness
An anonymous reader writes "A Linux implementation delivering single-digit microsecond responsiveness on 64-bit dual-core AMD Opteron processors is being demonstrated at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston this week. From the article: "According to FSMLabs, an AMD Opteron 265 dual-core system running RTLinux can deliver guaranteed interrupt latencies of no more than five microseconds, with scheduling jitter of no more than eight microseconds, even with Linux under a heavy load." Heck, with numbers like that it seems like Linux could run circles around XP Pro for audio/video apps such as streaming, recording, and playback!"
but it still takes 10 mins for the system to boot linux..
flamesuit activated..
Uhm, yeah.
BeOS. Which isn't being sold anymore. Which isn't supported anymore. Which didn't have much in the way of content creation applications even in its heyday, which lasted for about three weeks. In 1999. Thanks for posting though!
your website is ugly and looks like a piece of shit
way to promote linux with that turd of a website
Ohhh, snap nigga!
Did I say that Linux wasn't being used? I don't see where I said that.
I said RTLinux was not being used. I'm sorry to have hurt your feelings and made you feel inadequate, but rest assured, your OS is just fine and I didn't disparage it at all.
You, on the other hand, are a complete idiot who has neither reading comprehension nor the common sense to stay out of conversations you haven't got the slightest idea about.
Good idea. With an Opteron processor, you can eliminate the magnetron and generate the microwaves from a 1/4 sine wave look-up table... ;-)
Oh well, what the hell...
