Deadline Scheduling Proposed For the Linux Kernel 113
c1oud writes "At the last Real-Time Linux Workshop, held in September in Dresden, there was a lot of discussion about the possibility of enhancing real-time capabilities of Linux by adding a new scheduling class to the Linux kernel. According to most kernel developers, this new scheduling class should be based on the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) real-time algorithm. The first draft of the scheduling class was called 'SCHED_EDF,' and it was proposed and discussed on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) just before the workshop. Recently, a second version of the scheduling class (called 'SCHED_DEADLINE,' to meet the request of some kernel developers) was proposed. Moreover, the code has been moved to a public git repository on Gitorius. The implementation is part of a FP7 European project called ACTORS, and financially supported by the European commission. More details are available."

I didn't get the first post because pulseaudio crashed my system, and my wifi wouldn't connect.
Then I had to finish my windows 7 torrent, install it, and now I can post.

It isn't PA that's crashing your system. It's the drivers, and PA just exposes defects that were already in the drivers.

Somewhere there's a 57 year old grad student waiting for his job to finish running.
And then the server shut down.
Ouch.
