Hi all, I'm audio-ignorant so I mostly lurk on this list, but I do usually follow discussions about scheduling latency and stuff like that.
I thought some members of this list would be interested in a paper I'm working on that's going to appear in the FREENIX track at the USENIX Technical Conference in June. It's about Hourglass, a user-level tool for measuring scheduling behavior. There are some comparisons in the paper between some of the different real-time enhanced versions of Linux. There's a draft here: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/hourglass-040802.ps http://www.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/hourglass-040802.pdf The final copy is due in about a week; I thought I'd post a copy now in case people find any mistakes, since this will give me the opportunity to correct them. NOTE: This draft will disappear a few days after this message is posted. Anyone reading this message in the archives after April 16 2002 should instead look for the final version of the paper at the Hourglass site: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/hourglass Thanks, John Regehr Postdoc, School of Computing, University of Utah
