FSMLabs begins work on RTLinux for Compaq Alpha (Socorro, New Mexico, March 1 2000) FSMLabs announces that it will be developing an Alpha AXP port of the RTLinux hard realtime extension for Linux for Compaq's Alpha product line. The agreement with Compaq was finalized in late February, and work has already begun. "As realtime systems become more sophisticated, there is a growing need for powerful computational engines that can run simulations or analytical programs while providing realtime control. Many of our high end customers have been requesting RTLinux support for the Alpha and we are happy to be working with Compaq to provide this support." said FSMLabs CEO Victor Yodaiken. RTLinux is an small, fast realtime operating system that follows the POSIX 1003.13 PE51 profile and runs the Linux operating system as a preemptible thread. All the services of the Linux kernel and Linux applications are available to the realtime system, yet realtime threads and handlers can run with minimal, hardware limited, latencies. RTLinux currently runs on SMP and uniprocessor IA32 based machines as well as on a variety of PowerPC platforms. RTLinux is widely used in industry and in research. FSMLabs is service of VJY Associates LLC, a software development company started by the original developers of RTLinux to work on realtime and embedded kernels.
