I have heard conflicting reports as to the existence of real-time processing extensions in AIX. Items of interest would include things like non-preemptable processes or asynchronous I/O. Do such facilities exist? If so, what constructs are available? Can somebody cite the relevant piece of documentation? Related questions: Does anybody wish to comment on the the general suitability of an IBM RS6000 workstation and AIX for real-time signal processing applications? Is writing an AIX device driver significantly different from writing a driver under more standard flavors of Unix? Please e-mail replies; I'll post a summary if there's interest.
