interesting. id love an eclecticlight breakdown of this. they're one of the few if only that write anything worth reading on apple hardware, i once found a QOS/scheduler insight through those guys when I couldn't get my c/cpp project pinned to the cores I wanted on m-series. https://eclecticlight.co/m1-macs/

> The XNU kernel runs on a variety of platforms
This is fascinating, would love to know where it’s used! (Besides macOS)

Perhaps they mean ISAs

I believe it means Apple's other hardware platforms (phones, tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, smartwatches)

Does this contribute to macOS's suitability for DAW applications or is that more the baked in low-latency audio drivers?

CoreAudio probably deserves most of the credit, there. Similar ASIO-style solutions like JACK, DirectSound and now Pipewire hit the sub-30ms mark without any big scheduler tweaks.
