Status update on SQLbusRT

I'll be on holidays from the 25th of August till the 5th of September. Therefore, I thought it would be a good idea to give an update on the current status of SQLbusRT.

Coding has almost finished. With almost finished, I mean it is almost ready for the first test runs. It is still a very simple implementation. It will give me some baseline figures when I execute my first performance tests, but it does not have all the planned functionality yet.

I'm not publishing the code yet. I want to have the code reviewed by some collegues first, and perhaps it's better to wait for the results of the first test runs to see whether the taken approach is a good one.

I've finished setting up a network of computers to run my tests on. All computers run linux, with the possibility of choosing a patched or an unpatched kernel on boot. The patched kernel offers preemption. This will be used to give real time priority to the incoming data from the network adapters. I'll give more detailed information on this after my holidays.

The 6th of September I'll be running those first test runs. As soon as some useful data has been extracted, it'll be posted here.

Enjoy your holiday. It's interesting that it coincides with our Labor Day Weekend here in the United States.
