Message-ID: <1992Oct9.024816.3814@lna.oz.au> Organization: Leeds & Northrup Australia, Sydney Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1992 02:48:16 GMT Lines: 17 I'm looking (very hard) for possible mechanisms of process communication that could satisfy some fairly tight real-time constraints. We are considering porting our Versados products to Unix or to some such Unix variant. We currently have Ultrix-32 and SunOS 4.1, and I have some timing results for them. We will also have Solaris and OSF soon. Many OS vendors claim their product will have "increased real-time support" in their next release, but we need to know what is currently available to make desisions now. BSD 4.2 sockets and System V messages are all we have tested, so we would like to know if anyone else has done any studies on "real-time" Unix.
