I'm really sad QNX has never been adopted for the desktop and it died with Blackberry for mobile. Such a cool fast kernel / operating system.

- krisoft 3y agoFast? Not in the benchmarks I have seen. In my understanding it promises correctness of scheduling not speed.
- rbanffy 3y agoIt’s not fast if you want to do batch processing, but if you want fast and predictable responses, it’s quite good.
- Chabsff 3y agoWhen you get down to real-time OSs, jitter often becomes the only metric that actually matters, and raw throughput becomes a means to that end.
- jacquesm 3y agoLatency >> throughput.
- euniceee3 3y agoQNX is a big chunk of Blackberry's revenue. It has found a footing in the automotive industry.
- jacquesm 3y agoIt had a footing in the automotive industry long before Blackberry even existed. Also: process control, medical, avionics, transportation. Anything where latency matters more than throughput.
