RTX 2011

RTX 2011 allows to refuse use of separate DSP processors and gate arrays of FPGA that considerably reduces the cost of development of systems based on Windows OS requiring support of hard real time and the developed functions of the user interface. The new version supports up to 32 processors working under RTX in a full-fledged SMP configuration (Symmetric MultiProcessing is Symmetric Multi Processing) that quadruple exceeds possibilities of the previous version of RTX. Besides, RTX 2011 traditionally supports modern versions of products of Microsoft company, such as Windows 7, Windows Embedded Standard 7, Visual Studio 2010 SP1.

Unlike traditional architecture which assumes use of two development environments and two independent systems for simultaneous support of real time and difficult user interfaces RTX is the only solution allowing to combine all this within one integrated system implementing both the chelovekomashinny interface on the basis of Windows OS and functionality of real time. At the same time so many main cores how many the specifics of a specific applied objective require are involved. Besides, the RTX expansion is the only product capable to provide support of the SMP configurations on one computer only on the basis of Windows OS.

The IntervalZero company also announced in May, 2011 availability to the new version of RTX of six options Runtime (execution environments) that it will provide to her clients additional flexibility, allowing to select number of the supported processors with a system scaling option in the future already today. Range of options of RTX 2011 Runtime stretches from Runtime Solo offering support of functions of real time on one the shared or selected for a subsystem of RTSS (Real-Time SubSystem) processor core to Runtime Ultimate supporting functions of real time both on one shared core and with selection for a subsystem of RTSS up to 31 main cores.

The new version of the RTX expansion is an important component of the concept Soft-Control Architecture (architecture of program control) using which many OEM clients of IntervalZero company save from 25 to 50% of the previous level of costs on development of the systems, considerably increase capacity of the solutions and also increase quality and functionality of end products.

Thanks to support of symmetric multiprocessing for x86 - compatible devices and close integration of the RTX expansion with Windows OS, clients can implement the PLC functions, managements of movements, work with digital multimedia and other logic of hard real time programmatically, without application of dedicated hardware components (FPGA devices, processors of digital signal processing of DSP, etc.).
