Improving Execution Predictability On Linux With SLX


For many applications, predictability and determinism are often times more desirable than raw performance. This is especially true in emerging markets, like cyber-physical systems or the internet-of-things. For many practical reasons, however, most engineers rely on Linux, which in multicore systems is usually neither predictable nor deterministic. This whitepaper analyzes the predictability of... » read more
