OS structure causing latency
what causes latency on OS-Sytem
- Audiodriver
- call back drivers
- jack
- polling
- alsa
- portaudio...
- call back drivers
- harddisk performance
- since a access times to harddisks are like 8-30ms there should be a preloading in pd or a own thread...
- Scheduler Time oOS
Long system calls which cannot be broken so they have to be stopped by the Scheduler interrupt. This time is called scheduler time.
There should be tests about this.
- file system
which file open/Read/write times are garanteed on which file system
- realtime filesystems
- xfs (has anyone tested this ???)
- realtime filesystems
- dma irqs
I dont think there is any limit in here
