Real-Time Systems GmbH has launched the latest version of its Real-Time Hypervisor software that enables the simultaneous running of multiple operating systems on multi-core processors, and also supports Microsoft Windows XP! Conventional virtualization solutions (‘hypervisors’) are generally implemented by interposing an additional software layer between an operating system and the CPU core that it uses. Unfortunately, this kind of solution often influences the deterministic behavior of the real-time system. In contrast to that, the RTS Real-time Hypervisor makes it possible to run – simultaneously, independently and robustly – a number of standard operating systems on a single x-86 multi-core execution platform. Moreover, RTS software technology does not in the least interfere with any of the supported operating systems’ timing behavior.
