PREEMPTive Image #270

Closed CodeOn-ArK closed 2 years ago

CodeOn-ArK commented 2 years ago

If an Image is compiled with PREEMPT feature, then does that makes the kernel real time?Why is PREEMPT turned on on most distros these days.

RobertCNelson commented 2 years ago

No... PREEMPT alone does not mean real time..

The Real Time patchset is still slowly being developed and merged into Linux..

PREEMPT_RT = Real Time..
