One Line Summary

Enabling and improving real-time guarantees in Linux-based virtualization environments

Abstract

You have a legacy RTOS and want to run it on a Linux system? Or there is a need to isolate -rt machines from each other while running on the same host? Then just combine -rt with KVM and be done, right? Almost.

This talk will provide a brief overview over Linux-based real-time virtualization options, the requirements on stack components, their status and some traps and pitfalls when setting up real systems. It will then try to encourage a discussion on how to improve the components regarding real-time and how to achieve that they works more “out of the box” under real-time constraints.
