Real-Time Application Interface is a Linux kernel extension that offers hard real-time capabilities.
To determine if a system's hardware is capable of being utilized as a hard real-time system, a bootable CD-ROM is available for use from the developer's website. Additionally, the website provides valuable information related to the real-time performance of various systems that can help users when purchasing hardware for developing hard real-time systems.
The LiveCD, based on RTAI (Realtime Application Interface), offers user-friendly menus, guiding users throughout the process of running the test suite and submitting the results to an Internet database along with system configuration information.
What's new in this release is a fix that addresses an issue where per-loop max and min latency were accidentally stored in the database, instead of the overall max and min latency, along with the addition of support for Gigabit Ethernet, at the request of Phil Nitschke. Additionally, the ISO size has been reduced to 8MB, further streamlining performance capabilities.
