Nice article.
I hope this is not true:
"Embedded systems often need to poll hardware or do other tasks on a
fixed schedule. POSIX timers make it easy to arrange any task to get
scheduled periodically. The clock that the timer uses can be set to
tick at a rate a fine as one kilohertz, so that software engineers can
control the scheduling of tasks with precision."
The promise of the high-res timer patch was usec resolution, not msec.
This would be a great loss. Does anybody know any more?
