Accelerated Technology Announces Nucleus COM 3.0 for Automotive Developers Using the OSEK Standard.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. Conference San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden 2003 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2003 Accelerated Technology(R), the Embedded Systems Division of Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics, Inc (NASDAQ: MENT) is a US-based multinational corporation dealing in electronic design automation (EDA) for electrical engineering and electronics, as of 2004, ranked third in the EDA industry it helped create. Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT), today announced the release of the Nucleus(TM) COM (1) (Computer Output Microfilm) Creating microfilm or microfiche from the computer. A COM machine receives print-image output from the computer either online or via tape or disk and creates a film image of each page. version 3.0, a software extension of the Nucleus OSEK OSEK Offene Systeme und Deren Schnittstellen für die Elektronik im Kraftfahrzeug (English: Open Systems and the Corresponding Interfaces for Automotive Electronics). kernel. By implementing Nucleus COM, developers can facilitate inter-processor and intra-processor communication in their automotive electronics application. There has been a dramatic increase in semiconductor use in the transportation industry. With this increase, it is necessary for various processors to easily communicate with each other within an embedded automotive application. Developers using the OSEK standard, an industry benchmark for automotive electronics, can now implement Nucleus COM to help processors transfer information across different functional areas of a vehicle. Nucleus COM is an implementation of the latest COM standard from the OSEK committee. Nucleus COM is also a part of Accelerated Technology's Nucleus OSEK real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. ). Other OSEK-related components include Nucleus NM, network management software, and Nucleus CAN, a controller area network protocol used for transferring serial data communication. Nucleus OSEK products provide developers with such important benefits as cost savings, decreased development time and enhanced end product quality. "Nucleus COM provides OSEK developers with a solid implementation of the IMH IMH Institute of Mental Health IMH International Museum of the Horse IMH In My Head IMH Instituto de Máquina-Herramienta (Spanish: Machine-Tool Institute) IMH In My Heart (closing greeting) COM standard that can be used across development teams and across different hardware platforms Each hardware platform, or CPU family, has a unique machine language. All software presented to the computer for execution must be in the binary coded machine language of that CPU. Following is a list of the major hardware platforms in existence today. See platform. ," said Robert Day, director of marketing for the Embedded Systems Division of Mentor Graphics(R). "The source code, no-royalty business model makes perfect sense for the volumes associated with transportation applications and is backed up by Accelerated Technology's top-notch technical support." Availability and Pricing Nucleus embedded software is licensed with source code and without royalty fees. Available now, licenses for Nucleus COM 3.0 start at $21,495.
