title: Real-time programming with Linux
body: <p>I've just built and set up a vanilla Linux kernel with the RT patch applied. Everything went fine and I can now correctly boot into the new kernel.</p>
  
  <p>What leaves me wondering is this: I have a simulator program that I've made in C, and I want it to execute in hard real time mode, as should be allowed by the new kernel. Probably the whole simulator doesn't need to be run with real-time priority, but some of the tasks inside do.</p>
  
  <p>How can I accomplish this?  I take it that simply running the program won't do.</p>
