Future Applications Favor a New Generation of Scalable RTOSs
Newer systems incorporating multiple homogeneous and heteroge-neous processing cores will require RTOSs that can be adapted to their processing needs. This will also lead to a new generation of tools. This is a Quadros white paper from Tom Barrett.

RTOS Interrupt Architectures: Two Approaches - Unified and Segmented
Like stand-alone systems, embedded applications running on top of real-time operating systems (RTOSes) require Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) to handle interrupts generated by external events. External events can be caused by just about anything, from an asynchronous character arrival on a UART to a periodic timer interrupt. ISRs have the responsibility of acknowledging the hardware condition and provide the initial handling of data sent...

RTOS Real-Time Performance vs. Ease Of Use
Real-time operating system (RTOS) vendors often make claims of 'fast real-time performance,' and 'rapid real-time response,' to convince developers to use their RTOS for a given application. The implication is that 'faster is better,' and sub-microsecond interrupt response and context switch times are offered as compelling evidence.

Modular Software-Centric Development with an FPGA-Enabled RTOS
Electronics were revolutionized by microprocessors and software, with real-time operating systems (RTOS) providing the foundation for the application code. Today, in the era of FPGAs when the contents of chips are fashioned not from solder but from keystrokes there is a need for a new type of RTOS to take advantage of the fact that hardware is now as programmable as software. Electronic products are increasingly defined and differentiated...

Optimizing Technology Choices for Embedded Software Development
We will be mentioning four RTOS vendors and their product offerings as examples in our presentation. These companies – Wind River Systems, Green Hills Software, LynuxWorks, and Accelerated Technologies (Mentor Graphics) –are significant companies that offer quality products and services. EMF looks at their product offerings and the standards (and verticals) that they support, and presents a perspective . . .
