For rate monotonic or earliest dead line first scheduling the priority for the linuxcnc kernel is assigned according to often it is executed. Even though proof of why these schedulings schemes are optimal under som conditions are hard assignment of priority is rather simple => assign according to periodicity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-monotonic_scheduling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_deadline_first_scheduling Nicklas Karlsson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
