I know enough about realtime to fill a thimble, but I got the impression that the non-reatime stuff gets attention when the reatime stuff is done. So realtime processes will take what they need until the non-realtime processes stop running. Therefore, playing with the non-realtime processes will only help the remaining non-realtime processes(?). I think I would like to have an EMC realtime optimized PC (headless or optional interface) controlled by a non-realtime EMC application that could run on any standard linux PC (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). At one time, I thought parts of EMC ran as semi-independent programs, would it be difficult to segregate these parts across two PC's (or Beowulf)?
