I would like to do some REAL time : data acquisition where I could dedicate one CPU just to data acquisition. : I know than on a multi-processor machine I can do this but it would : be nice to do on an Indigo :-) What sort of throughput are you looking for? I'm currently using an IRIS 4D/35G for real-time acquisition and processing (soon to move to an Indigo R4000/XS24Z), with rates of about 200 kpoints/sec. I use three different processes with non-degrading priorities, and it works very well. John Schwegler john@sg25.aud.temple.edu Temple U. Dept. of Auditory Research
