; Summary: Mainline RT-preempt patchset ; Proposer: Tim Bird
== Description == The RT-preempt patch set provides real-time scheduling performance for Linux. Parts of this patch set have been mainlined over time, but there are still significant parts that remain out-of-tree. This project would consist of mainlining the remaining portions of the RT-preempt patch set, to avoid integration costs for those companies that use this patchset, and to decrease the maintenance cost of the patchset. == Related work == * http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ - index of patchsets for various kernel versions * https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/3/133 - announcement on LKML of version 2.6.33.7-rt29 of the patchset * [https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page Real-Time Linux Wiki] ** See especially https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO * http://lwn.net/Articles/319544/ - Interview: the return of the realtime preemption tree ** This is an interview with Ingo Molnar and Thomas Gleixner, from February 2009, regarding the status of the RT-preempt patch * [[Realtime Preemption]] - unfortunately out-of-date wiki page on this work == Scope == Probably measured in man-years. Would be good to define intermediate milestones for progress, and work towards those. == Contractor Candidates == List possible contractors for this work (can be yourself) == Comments == [[Category:Project proposals 2011]] ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Network Entertainment ============================= _______________________________________________ Celinux-dev mailing list [email protected] http://tree.celinuxforum.org/mailman/listinfo/celinux-dev
