If they are embedded/low power stuff, it probably makes more sense to compare them with intel atom than with "usual x86 boxes". Unless you consider atoms as usual. The typical worst case latency I get on an intel atom 230 (admittedly not the most recent one) is around 30 us, the large latency being due to the time it takes to mask irqs at IO-APIC level (ISTR I had found out that this went through the LPC bus, which is obviously not designed for speed). The latest benchmark I did may be found here: https://xenomai.org/2014/08/benchmarks-xenomai-dual-kernel-over-linux-3-14/#on_x86 -- Gilles. _______________________________________________ Xenomai mailing list [email protected] http://www.xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
