Metronome Timer slowdown (via Handler, or Threads too)

I have a simple, classic, statement that every 200 milliseconds plays a sound (a metronome). I wrote it using Handlers, and then in another way, using Threads. The problem is the same in both ways: when I press hardware home button, or also simply when I press a button to open a ListView, the metronome terribly slowdown for a while. T...

Which real-time (RTSJ) JVM is most preferred?

There seems to be only a handful of JVMs that are implementations of the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ). The Sun/Oracle Java Real-Time System is over $6000 and IBM's real-time WebSphere is over $7000, so many Java developers may never have the opportunity to use either of them. Oracle's JRockit seems to be a free real-time Jav...

Lua's GC and realtime game

As I know, the tracing GC can't avoid thread blocking during complete GC. I had used XNA+C#, and GC time impossible to remove. So I switched to lower level language C, but I realized I need scripting language. I'm considering Lua, but I'm worrying about Lua's GC mechanism. Lua is using incremental tracing GC, and thread blocking should ...
