How to Achieve Real‑Time Performance with Linux in Embedded Systems

The article explains why Linux can be used for real‑time embedded applications, describes the misconception that Linux is inherently non‑real‑time, and details four practical techniques—PREEMPT_RT patch, CPU isolation, real‑time scheduling policies, and memory‑management optimizations—plus a brief discussion of dual‑kernel solutions for hard‑real‑time needs.

Low‑Latency HFT: Isolating CPUs with isolcpus, nohz_full, rcu_nocbs and IRQ Affinity

After binding HFT strategy threads to a dedicated core, four sources of interference—other runnable tasks, timer ticks, RCU callbacks, and hardware interrupts—still affect latency; the article explains how isolcpus, nohz_full, rcu_nocbs and IRQ affinity can eliminate each source, shows exact kernel parameters, verification commands, and warns about common pitfalls.

How Does Docker Enforce CPU Isolation with Cgroups?

Docker achieves CPU isolation by leveraging Linux cgroups, assigning containers to specific control groups, setting CPU limits via the --cpus option, and using the kernel’s CPU scheduler to enforce dynamic, bounded CPU usage without permanently binding containers to particular cores.

How Does Docker Achieve CPU Isolation with cgroups?

Docker uses Linux cgroups to limit and schedule CPU resources for containers, allowing you to set a maximum number of CPU cores per container while keeping the actual cores dynamically allocated, so other processes can still use the remaining CPUs.

How Does Docker Enforce CPU Isolation with cgroups?

Docker leverages Linux cgroups to limit and schedule CPU usage for containers, allowing users to set a maximum number of CPU cores with the --cpus flag while keeping the actual cores dynamically allocated, ensuring other host processes can still access unassigned CPUs.

Understanding lxcfs: Isolating /proc and /sys in Containers

This article explains how lxcfs, a FUSE‑based user‑space filesystem, isolates the /proc and /sys virtual files for containers, details its implementation for reading cpuonline and load average, and provides code examples of the core functions that enable per‑container system metric visibility.
