Peter,
I'm not scared of polynomial evaluation, but the fact that my IGP
implementation is dependent on the PD specifics, which are not
generally available and need to be custom built for each PD
specifically. I always thought a good IGP implementation is PD agnostic.
Your implementation is always dependent on the underlying hardware. We
have timers, we have filesystems, we have I/O subsystems, threads, and
clocks to contend with.
none of the above is dependent on the LC specific hardware.
The input queue in the hardware is a fact of
life and knowing about it can improve our implementations.
Because the PD layer can provide isolation from the specifics, the IGP
implementation is reasonably abstracted from those specifics, in much
the same way that the OS has abstracted us from the remainder of the
underlying hardware. All I’m proposing is adding one more item to that
PD abstraction.
easy to say with a single PD. If you have 20, each with a different
architecture, it becomes a different problem.
thanks,
Peter
