RTX

With IntervalZero’s RTX software, developers can take advantage of both the Windows environment and form factor, and also solve all their scheduling, prioritization and control challenges. RTX is a self-contained real-time subsystem that bypasses the Windows’ scheduler to provide the desired determinism and hard real-time response.

RTX architecture is a true extension in that it does not encapsulate Windows and does not interfere with or modify the Windows infrastructure. By maintaining this separation, the RTX real-time subsystem (RTSS) ensures that RTX-based applications survive Windows crashes.

The RTX real-time subsystem is designed around a high-speed scheduler that utilizes both priority-driven and preemptive algorithms. RTX supports up to 997 independent processes, with each process supporting unlimited threads. Fine-grained control over applications is assured with 128 levels of assignable thread priority.
