Hi Sri,

They go into some detail on the specific options of the rt-preempt patches on page 26 of their slides [2]. The other slides of the presentation are obviously a great read as well. Also, if you are interested in learning about real-time and issues related to it (and not specifically the rt-preempt patches), I recommend checking out the ELC 2010 video of the talk "Real-Time Linux Failure" by Frank Rowand [3] as well as Mike Anderson's excellent talk "Using Interrupt Threads to Prioritize Interrupts" [3]. IIRC the latter goes into details of the rt-preempt patches and explains the issues and solutions involved quite well. Hope this helps :-) [1] http://free-electrons.com/docs/realtime/ [2] http://free-electrons.com/doc/embedded_linux_realtime.pdf [3] http://free-electrons.com/blog/elc-2010-videos/ -- /manohar
