RoyalDogBiscuitslow-jitter kernel needs YOU! http://ovekarlsen.com/Blog/turning-ubuntu-12-04-into-a-professional-low-jitter-os/11:49
jussiRoyalDogBiscuits: how is that different from the RT or lowlatency kernels we have had in the past?12:01
RoyalDogBiscuitsjussi: From what I see, the config is very different. Low-latency is not neccesarily low-jitter graphics wise. For that you need to reduce all causes of jitter, such as interrupts, uneccesary code running etc. Try it!12:10
jussiRoyalDogBiscuits: maybe at home, not here (work machine)12:11
jussiRoyalDogBiscuits: I want to know more details about it though, and particularly differences from RT kernel12:11
RoyalDogBiscuitsThe main difference is that it is very efficient.12:11
RoyalDogBiscuitsFor instance Doom 3 which is a very jitter sensitive game, that Carmack not long ago stated was taxing even on modern computers, runs with accurate 72fps.12:12
RoyalDogBiscuitsDoom 3 does three OpenGL passes, pr frame.12:12
RoyalDogBiscuitsThis also really on a core 2 duo, and a GTX 280.12:13
RoyalDogBiscuitsMany have reports glitches disappearing from their games.12:14
jussiRoyalDogBiscuits: I suspect a much better forum for talking about this would be #ubuntu-kernel (if you havent already)12:17
RoyalDogBiscuitsI pasted a link there too.12:17
