Highly parallelized real time signal processing? Seems like a classic
Wouldn't you need a real-time OS and a real-time communication layer to do real-time processing? Or at least within the same level of time accuracy ? The Linux scheduler is still on a 10ms quantum of time, and QoS in network is still about what to drop first, not guaranteeing resources.
If PTP is as good (accuracy, resource usage) as the specialized methods, then using a common implementation is the best deal. However, application-specific/architecture-specific synchronization may be more efficient. The trade-off is between the performance of the first versus the cost of the second. That's the rule behind commodity solutions.
