Windows Real-time Extension

With the Windows Real-time Extension from acontis we offer you a solution fully integrated in Windows. This enables you to meet the required characteristics of hard real-time tasks all within the familiar Microsoft development environment (Visual Studio), both for application development and debugging of real-time applications. Using Visual Studio project wizards, real-time applications can be created in the same way as for regular Windows application, and debugging the real-time applications is also done in the same way as debugging normal Windows applications. The acontis real-time extension for Windows is installed easily and without any special adaptations to Windows.

Real-time Hypervisor Software

The hypervisor is responsible for controlling the running operating systems and allocating the required hardware components. In order to implement a real-time operating system (RTOS) in a virtualization environment, the hypervisor must support hardware partitioning. The hardware itself is divided into several partitions - usually one partition dedicated to non-real-time applications and one or more partitions dedicated to real-time applications. This guarantees hardware prioritization and thus enables the possibility for achieving hard Real-time by design. Another important requirement of the hypervisor is not to cause any additional latencies. A hypervisor that can meet these requirements is called a real-time hypervisor. Legacy implementations with two separate hardware controllers can thus be consolidated onto a single piece of hardware using hardware partitioning and a real-time hypervisor.
