Also, I'm not sure I can find in the FMLP paper information about the

wrong, and, in that case, I hope Prof. Anderson and Bjorn will excuse
and correct me. :-)
This is a really excellent point and something I probably should have
mentioned. We developed the FMLP strictly for real-time (only)
workloads. We were specifically looking at protecting memory-resident
resources (not I/O). The FMLP would have to be significantly extended
to work in settings where these assumptions don't hold.
Thanks for pointing this out.
