Ada Core Technolgies and Zentropix announce the development of
GNATPRO Ada 95 For RealTime Linux
Sep 27th, 23:53 UTC
Expanding GNAT Professional Ada 95 Technology into the real-time
world
NEW YORK, NY -- (Sept 24, 1999) Ada Core Technologies, the leader in
GNAT and Ada 95 technology, and Zentropix, the RealTime Linux experts,
have teamed up to offer a powerful solution for the development of Ada
systems on the RealTime Linux platform. "GNATPRO for RealTime Linux"
provides real-time system designers and developers with the most advanced
configuration available for hard real-time applications running on Ada
within Linux. "GNATPRO For RealTime Linux" enables the migration
of time-critical Ada applications from legacy, to commodity hardware platforms,
by leveraging the features of the GNAT Ada compiler with the services of
RealTime Linux, a full-featured, deterministic and preemptive real-time
Unix environment.
The open source model of both the RealTime Linux operating system and
the GNAT Ada compiler, guarantees long term product quality and maintainability.
Under open source licensing, you control the software.
About Ada and RealTime Linux:
Ada is the language of choice for those who need to develop object-oriented
applications within the commercial and military markets, and is the only
major programming language to offer high-level support for multitasking
and real-time applications. Ada is considered by many to be the best language
for developing large, reliable, and easy-to-maintain systems.
RealTime Linux is an extension of the standard Linux operating system.
It provides a simple and streamlined real-time executive which runs the
standard Linux kernel as its lowest-priority task, while allowing the insertion
of user-defined, higher-priority (i.e. real- time) tasks. Thus, the
standard kernel is made fully preemptible. This architecture enables real-time
functions to operate in a predictable and low-latency environment, while
still allowing full access to the sophisticated services and features of
standard Linux. See http://www.realtimelinux.org
for more details.
About Ada Core Technologies (http://www.gnat.com)
Founded in 1994 by the original authors of the GNAT compiler, Ada Core
Technologies is the leading provider of open software solutions for all
aspects of Ada 95 software development. GNAT is the most widely used Ada
95 compiler tool chain, attracting newcomers to Ada and making Ada a more
affordable solution in environments where efficient and reliable code is
critical.
About Zentropix (http://www.zentropix.com)
Born from the military simulation industry, where real-time computing
is critical, Zentropix was founded in August, 1997, and has offices in
the US and UK. By providing a validated and configuration managed
version of RealTime Linux combined with tools, support, and custom engineering,
Zentropix meets the needs of software developers and corporations, who
are now developing embedded and Real-Time applications.
