RTKernel RISC Real-Time Scheduler

Performance

RTKernel RISC offers excellent performance. It comes with a benchmark program that may be used to measure its performance on any computer.

The table below gives some results for four typical X86 based target computers and for a 24 MHz MPC860 processor.
