Linux - Open Source White Papers

A Quantitative Comparison of Realtime Linux Solutions

Overview The focus of this paper is on the GPOS Linux. The question is how Linux can be extended to provide realtime capabilities. Windows is also a widely known GPOS. It can also be analysed considering its usability for realtime applications, but this is beyond the scope of this work. Linux is an open source operating system and that is the big difference to Windows. This enables programmers to analyse the system and to introduce new mechanisms for providing realtime capabilities. Besides, the costs of using Linux in realtime environments is limited to the education of staff members rather than paying any license fees.
