Projects tagged ‘kernel’ and ‘real-time’

KolibriOS is an open source operating system with a monolithic preemptive, real-time kernel, video drivers, for 32-bit x86 architecture computers, developed and maintained by The KolibriOS Project Team. KolibriOS is a fork of MenuetOS, written entirely in assembly language.

RTAI - the RealTime Application Interface for Linux - lets you write applications with strict timing constraints for your favourite operating system.

Xenomai is a real-time development framework cooperating with the Linux kernel, in order to provide a pervasive, interface-agnostic, hard real-time support to user-space applications, seamlessly integrated into the GNU/Linux environment.

Fiasco is a new µ-kernel (microkernel) running on x86 PCs intended to be compatible with the L4 µ-kernel for x86. It implements the L4 ABI as defined in the L4/x86 Reference Manual. The Fiasco kernel can be used to construct flexible ... [More] systems. We at TU Dresden use it as a base for our DROPS system which supports running real-time and time-sharing applications concurrently on one computer. However, Fiasco is not only suitable for big and complex systems, but also for small, embedded applications. [Less]

BlueCat® embedded Linux® from LynuxWorks™, based on the 2.6 kernel, is an implementation of the Linux model enhanced for use in embedded systems ranging from small consumer-type devices to large-scale, multi-CPU systems. BlueCat Embedded Linux ... [More] 5.x features * Preemptible kernel— preemption points in the kernel allow you to suspend an executing process so that you can launch another, higher-priority process. * Low-latency scheduler— ensures that processes are executed, giving users increased determinism * Improved POSIX® threading support— open-standards ideology providing compatibility of applications over different architectures, complementing our LynxOS strategy * POSIX timers— time and alarm management needed for real-time. Applications requiring high throughput or fast [Less]
