SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 10

Greater Predictability

Timing is everything. In some cases, predictability of response times is even more important than sheer speed. Even more important than how fast it takes for a process or application thread to execute, is making sure that it takes the exact same time to complete, each and every time. Certain process control applications, computer simulations, and high performance risk management algorithms require the precise synchronization of intermediate execution threads in order for the system as a whole to function properly. Firms can get better performance from these time sensitive applications, through greater predictability, when they run them on SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time.

The ability of SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time to shield or "reserve" key system resources for high priority processes, together with its preemptible real time kernel, is what allows firms to ensure greater predictability of their time sensitive mission critical applications. Firms are able to ensure that their time critical applications do not experience resource contention, or unwanted process interrupts that could contribute to increased variability in response and execution times.
