Related to the use of Ubuntu as a real-time OS, whether through use of a patch, replacement kernel or other method. This is often desired in the context of industries such as automation and CNC machines, as well as certain audio applications. Questions may relate to specific real-time patches/kernels, integrating those patches/kernels on an Ubuntu system, or using an RT Ubuntu system in a given application.
A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system intended to serve real-time application process data as it comes in, typically without buffering delays. Processing time requirements (including any OS delay) are measured in tenths of seconds or shorter.
