Hi,<br>
<br>
unless we run under a real time OS the OS will prevent a process
from getting CPU cycles for arbitrary timespans. <br>
So you cannot ensure that a Squeak program on a Pi will prevent a
car from bumping into an obstacle even if you set a very short pause
time for GC. Otherwise I'd set the pause equal to the longest time
the OS will pause Squeak.<br>
<br>

Instead of turning off GC, which will mean that eventually you'll
run out if memory, you should ask what is the maximum pause time
you want. Pause times for the scavenger in Sour are around a
millisecond on typical hardware. Spur will introduce an
incremental global scan-mark to collect old space some time this
year and it will be set to have similar pause times as the
scavenger. So how far would your car drift in 2ms? If you could
tune the VM to pause for less than this, what pause time would be
acceptable? Can you provide the range of times that spans from
marginal to more than satisfactory?
