Accelerated Technology announces Nucleus RTOS support for ARM's Thumb.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 1995-- Accelerated Technology, Inc. today announced that its Nucleus PLUS real-time kernel will support Advanced RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. Machine's new Thumb-aware Processors. The combination of the Nucleus PLUS real-time kernel and ARM's Thumb Architecture extension provides users with the advanced capabilities needed to create high performance and low cost real-time embedded applications. The Nucleus PLUS real-time kernel provides a complete set of dynamic multi-tasking facilities including task communication, task synchronisation, application timers and memory management. Nucleus PLUS facilities are dynamic, reliable and efficient, saving developers valuable time when creating embedded applications. The Nucleus PLUS development tools offer file I/O, networking support (TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. , SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. v1 & v2, STREAMS and Novell NEST), full object oriented C++ support and kernel-aware debugger support. "The ARM Thumb technology has been designed to offer full 32-bit performance at 16-bit cost. ARM's Thumb can reduce typical program size by 30 to 40 per cent, and execute both 32-bit and 16-bit instructions without compromising performance," said Neil Henderson, president and co-founder, Accelerated Technology. "The ARM Thumb technology is unique in that it addresses the need for low cost consumer products such as mobile phones, digital papers, set top box and disk controllers. These are ideal applications for a non-royalty based real-time kernel such as Nucleus PLUS," added Henderson. Since 1992, Accelerated Technology has worked closely with the ARM Licensees to develop Nucleus Real-Time Software for ARM 32-bit RISC technology. ARM customers using Nucleus include VLSI Technology, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , TEKO, Texas Instruments, GEC GEC Gaseous Electronics Conference GEC Gigabit EtherChannel GEC Geriatric Education Center (US government; HRSA) GEC General Electric Co. GEC Google Earth Community (online community) Traction, Standard Micro and Hagenuk. Pricing and availability Nucleus PLUS for the ARM Thumb is priced from US$9,495.00 and will be available Q3 1995 from Accelerated Technology. Accelerated Technology, Inc Accelerated Technology, Inc was established in 1990 for the purpose of providing embedded systems developers with high quality, well documented and well supported software development tools. Accelerated Technology has since become a leader in providing source code, non-royalty based RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system.
