This version completes the core kernel work and the i386 platform work. The project provides timers with micro second resolution while not increasing system overhead until a timer that lies between two jiffies is about to expire. Save for thread signal restrictions in linux, the timers provided by the project are fully compliant with POSIX standards 1003.1b-1993 as extended by 1003.1j-2000. -- George george@mvista.com High-res-timers: http://sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers/ Real time sched: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtsched/
