Not just zero copy, you don't even need to
interrupt at the period
boundary. The critical hardware feature is being able to mmap the
position register. Does any current hardware do this?
old ISA cards could do this :(
i did some experiments, oh, maybe 4-5 years ago with my wavefront card
using single-sample processing. pretty cool.
If Ingo's RT patches and the high res POSIX timers
patch get merged then
Linux can provide the kind of deterministic RT scheduling described in
actually, this is the 2nd of two critical features, one h/w, one s/w.
