Hi Jun, Jun Sun writes: > Your feedbacks and contributions are always welcome. Thanks for providing these results, they're very interesting. A couple of questions though. Firstly, the very high latency due to printk on the PowerPC system makes me wonder whether the kernels you're using include the fix to n_tty.c described in: http://lists.linuxppc.org/listarcs/linuxppc-embedded/199912/msg00006.html I'd also be interested to hear how the results change when Ingo Molnar's lowlatency patch is applied, at: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/lowlatency-patches/ And of course, it would be very interesting to see how much the results change when running RTLinux on the PowerPC, if you have a benchmark which would run in both environments.
