This is interesting: SteamOS (the OS developed by Valve for its linux-based game console) runs PREEMPT_RT.

Also, this probably means that NVIDIA is committed to supporting PREEMPT_RT!  Finally!

I wonder if we could do anything interesting by overriding PREEMPT_RT and schedule SteamOS games with Litmus?  Is MPI still actively working on PREEMPT_RT support in Litmus?
