Low latency signal processing on SMP machines and clusters seem to be one
application for this kind of solutions. Without RTL or similar for some kind of
central engine core, the latencies of Linux/lowlatency would multiply with the
number of CPUs or even worse, which is not acceptable.
I'll do more research in that are when I have some fun software to make use of
the power. :-)
