This posting provides an incomplete list of software operating systems
and tools available for the real-time market, gathered from various
net.postings. Two companion postings, "Comp.realtime: Welcome to
comp.realtime" <realtime_welcome_747904216@nominil.lonesome.com>,
and "Comp.realtime: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)",
<realtime_faq_747904216@nominil.lonesome.com>, provide an introduction
to the group, and answers to frequently asked questions.
These articles are repeated periodically for the benefit of new readers.

Subject: A list of real-time operating systems.
Below is a list of both commercial and research Real-Time Operating
Systems (RTOS) which are being used around the world for implementing
sensor-based systems. Only the name and address of at most one
distributor per country per RTOS is included. Since the available
features of each RTOS are constantly changing, and the advantages and
disadvantages of each are greatly a matter of opinion and target
application, no such descriptions are given. If you want
that information, contact the distributor directly, or ask
your colleagues on the Net for their opinions.
Please send updates/changes/corrections to <linimon@nominil.lonesome.com>;
however, you might want to Cc: the original author, David B. Stewart
<dstewart@cmu.edu>.

Subject: SunOS.
Partial information from: devil@imp.HellNet.org (Gil Tene):
The Solaris 2.x kernel is a preemptive multithreaded kernel, entirely
different from the SunOS 4.x kernels. I've read some of their white
papers on real-time features. The new OS supports a realtime priority
scheduling class above the normal unix scheduling class. They quote
a "guaranteed" worst-case response time (event-to-actual-process
running) of under 1ms on a Sparc 2. The newer machines (Sparc 10)
should do much better, but the hard 1ms response time is good enough
to qualify it as a realtime OS.

Subject: RTworks.
Environment:
RTworks is not an OS, but a high-level toolkit for building
time-critical applications. It consists of a family of
independent software modules developed for intelligent real-
time data acquisition, data analysis, message/data distribution,
and message/data display. It offers a number of sophisticated
problem-solving strategies including knowledge-based systems, a
point-and-click graphical user interface, temporal and statistical
reasoning, and the ability to distribute and application over a
network. It is built specifically to take advantage of multiple
workstations distributed across a heterogeneous network in a
client-server architecture.
