HP-UX can assure a certain response time to processes you designate
to be handled using their real-time routines - however, real-time
time varies according to which processor you use. Unfortunately, you
have to get a REAL FAST one ($$$$$) to get what is usually considered
"real time response".

Well, it's a start towards real time with virtual memory, and the
real time routines are pretty nifty for other things as well.
