Hello,
Thank you for updating this very interresting post.
Do you have any website where you update the status of your work, publish
som test codes ?
Cheers

For 1024 bytes the transfer will take about 0.2

OTOH this appears to be mostly an intial constant, (much) more data can
be transferred in the exact same amount of time if that is what is
needed.
I have since then updated to kernel 2.6.24.7-rt.17 (and compiled for
this systems E1200/Core2)
This by itself doubled the throughput, so the upload would be done in
approx 100us (or better.)
By chance I then tried to run the test back from runlevel 3? This got me
down to 25us! ... which also happens to be the target I had been aiming
for.
A minimal X-setup, as in:
$ startx /usr/bin/xterm -- :1 -depth 16
.. yields the same fine results, and so does a lightweight environment
like IceWM.
But running the (default) Gnome Desktop Environment is consistently
quadrupling latencies from main to graphics memory? I have no idea what
is going on here, but kicking out gnome seems to solve the problem.
