When dealing with realtime systems, IPC overhead becomes important; examines two of the best IPC mechanisms available for Linux: FIFO, shared memory. [Dr. Dobb's Journal]

Real Time Application Interface: hard realtime support for Linux. Originally an RTLinux spinoff, but since redesigned and reimplemented from scratch. Intel only.

Commercial home of this hard realtime OS, runs Linux as its lowest priority execution thread; for Alpha, some MIPS, PPC, x86; limited only by hardware. Contract work, custom development, board ports.

Hard realtime OS, runs Linux as its lowest priority execution thread, on Alpha, some MIPS, PPC, x86. News, downloads, applications, documents, mail list, projects.

RTLinux's main architect gives advice for budding computer scientists. [ACM Crossroads]

RTLinux doesn't try to change Linux into an RTOS, it instead provides a new RT kernel incorporating Linux as a low-priority thread, so the RTOS stays small, streamlined and keeps Linux as a base for common applications. [EE Times]
