Small footprint RTSS kernel Up to 1000 processes Unlimited number of threads in kernel 128 priority levels Single-to-Quad processor support Win32 API support RTSS/Windows IPC mechanism RTX SDK - plugs into Windows IDE | ||
Guaranteed Real-Time Architecture Before RTX
Existing Architectures Example
-Need special hardware and more hardware
-Proprietary control and communications deliver performance at a price (hardware costs and maintenance costs)
Guaranteed Real-Time Architecture with RTX
New Architecture Example
-Use 1 system with no special hardware
RTX Architecture takes advantage of x86 Multicore Processor
-Human Machine Interface runs on 1 processor
-Guaranteed real-time functions on the other free processors
-Control logic can run on 1 processor and communicate in real-time
Develop All Elements With Single Integrated Environment
-Microsoft Visual Studio with RTX
-Supports hybrid designs: control logic on core; communications on board
