    Has anyone done this kind of realtime testing on an SMP system? I'd
    love to know how they compare. Unfortunately, I don't have access to
    one at the moment. Are they generally better or worse for this kind
    of work? I'm not asking about partitioning or processor affinity, but
    actually using the entire SMP complex as a realtime machine.

    Our current jack_test scripts wouldn't exercise a multiprocessor very
    well. But, even those results would be interesting to know. Then, I
    think we could modify them to start muliple JACK servers. That will
    probably require using the dummy backend driver, which would need a
    more accurate timer source than its current usleep() call to provide
    reliable low latency results. (We currently drive the audio cycle
    from ALSA driver interrupts, but each JACK server requires a dedicated
    sound card for that.)
