Apr 09 08:53:12 <zeuzoix> I was going through the APM_Linux paper and wanted to understand about the RT aspects of the kernel
Apr 09 08:58:33 <zeuzoix> In the paper the vanilla kernel compiled with the PREEMPT performed better so I expected the kernel used would be a stable branch. But in http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/building-the-code/building-for-beaglebone-black-on-linux/#compiling_the_beaglebone_black_kernel-2 a specific branch with a name 3.8-rt is used?
Apr 09 09:08:31 <zeuzoix> So my doubt is why not use the 3.8 branch and enable CONFIG_PREEMPT
Apr 09 09:20:41 <sidbh> zeuzoix, CONFIG_PREEMPT and PREEMPT RT PATCH are different points, google and you will know, 3.8rt has rt preempt patch but 3.8 doesn't
Apr 09 09:21:53 <zeuzoix> So 3.8rt has the PREEMPT RT patch?
Apr 09 09:24:16 <zeuzoix> Is the PREEMPT RT patch the same as the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT patch?
