Standard distribution Linux kernel does not guarantee bounded latencies for many operations. The use of real-time variant of Linux kernel is required to make system durable. This kernel variants minimizes regions where switch to the highest priority (i.e. Linux ERT generated) task is blocked by kernel when servicing system calls for other tasks. - +
+Selection of the right version of the kernel is not enough for non-disruptive operation. Computer system hardware selection is critical as well. The system has to provide enough computational power for compiled in blocks data evaluation @@ -89,13 +90,14 @@ latencies in x86 based systems is OSADL -Quality Assurance Farm) - +runing on many CPU architectures and boards from many vendors is OSADL +Quality Assurance Farm.
