hi all,<br><br>I just came across this: <a href="http://www.cs.unc.edu/%7Eanderson/litmus-rt/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.cs.unc.edu/~anderson/litmus-rt/index.html</a>. From the site:<br><br><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">

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.<br>

</blockquote><br>It seems their latest patch is against 2.6.36. I realize this is not a plug and play alternative to Ingo&#39;s work by any means, but I was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable has some insight into what exactly the Litmus kernel may offer...<br>
