Linux to help power a DARPA challange car from UCF


http://mobile.newsforge.com/mobility....shtml?tid=102

very good read and yet an other positive step for Linux.

[edit forgot to add a few quotes]

Quote:
Linux helps UCF out with response time issues, too. Where Windows can have up to a 140 ms delay for a repeated task, Linux almost guarantees a worst case delay of 20 ms. Pillat had to implement a multi-threaded scheme across machines in order to get a guaranteed response time. Linux definitely made that possible. It would have been significantly more difficult using another operating system.
now that is a HUGE differance and something i did not know before.

So long as we do what they tell us, we have nothing to hide and nothing to fear.
