hi all,
I just came across this:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~anderson/litmus-rt/index.html. From the site:
The LITMUSRT project is a soft real-time extension of the Linux kernel with
focus on multiprocessor real-time scheduling and
synchronization. The Linux
kernel is modified to support the sporadic task model and modular scheduler
plugins. Both partitioned and global scheduling is supported.
It seems their latest patch is against 2.6.36. I realize this is not a plug
and play alternative to Ingo's work by any means, but I was wondering if
anyone more knowledgeable has some insight into what exactly the Litmus
kernel may offer...
