Hello, Maybe you (or someone else) could work on getting POSIX.4 implemented in the Linux kernel. POSIX.4 is the "real time" (i.e., "real world") POSIX API.
What is probably really needed is to make the Linux kernel a "real time" (i.e., "real world") kernel. And thus, you'll be able to be given guarantees about time related stuff. See ya Charles Iliya Krempeaux tnt @ linux.ca ckrempea @ alumni.sfu.ca
