Concurrent Announces NightStar Tools for Concurrent Real-Time Extensions Powered by SUSE(R) Linux Platform.


DULUTH, Ga. -- Five Powerful Tools for Debugging and Analyzing Real-Time Linux Applications

In practice, many of these groupings may overlap.  and integrated computer solutions Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. (ICS) is a computer software company headquartered in Bedford, MA. They provide Graphic User Interface (GUI) development tools and professional services for UNIX and Linux platforms.  for mission-critical applications, today announced the launch of a new version of its popular NightStar software development and analysis tools, now supported by the Concurrent Real-Time Extensions (RTE (1) See runtime engine.

) powered by SUSE Linux A Linux distribution from the SuSE Linux division of Novell. Both consumer and enterprise versions are available, and the distribution includes several user interfaces. SuSE Linux comes with the Yet Another Setup Tool (YaST), which is used to install, configure and maintain the OS, as  platform. NightStar for RTE is an integrated set of debugging and development tools especially valuable for developing complex, time-critical SUSE Linux platform applications.

Concurrent and Novell jointly sell and support Concurrent Real-Time Extensions Powered by SUSE Linux Platform, a specialized Linux(R) offering based on Novell's popular SUSE Linux operating system, designed specifically for real-time computing needs.

NightStar sets itself apart from other debuggers by allowing developers to run their programs at application speed, so they can experience their application's real behavior. The NightStar suite includes the NightView(TM) source-level debugger, the NightTrace(TM) event analyzer, the NightProbe(TM) data monitor, the NightSim scheduler and the NightTune(TM) system and application tuner.

NightStar tools are ideal for the development of time-critical applications over multiple processors requiring multitask interaction and multithreading Multitasking within a single program. It allows multiple streams of execution to take place concurrently within the same program, each stream processing a different transaction or message. . The toolset's advanced features enable system builders to solve difficult problems quickly and as the tools are non-intrusive, the tools have minimal impact on an application. NightStar graphics-based tools reduce test time, increase productivity and lower development costs. The NightStar tools are especially useful for application development on new Intel(R) and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. (TM) dual-core processor systems due to their strength in debugging multiprocessing environments.

"As Linux environments grow in complexity with the introduction of multi-core processors, application and system designers need to be armed with tools that allow them to take full advantage of this new technology," said Warren Neuburger, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey.  of Concurrent. "NightStar for RTE enables powerful development of real-time processes in highly demanding multi-core SUSE Linux platform environments, empowering users to maximize the performance of their Linux applications."

NightStar for RTE is currently available on any Intel P4, Intel Xeon(R) or AMD Opteron(TM) system running SUSE Linux platform. Supported languages include C, C++ and Fortran compiled with either GNU gnu (n) or wildebeest (wĭl`dəbēst'), large African antelope, genus Connochaetes.  or Intel compilers.

NightView allows users to simultaneously debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits.  multiple processes and threads. With NightView, a programmer can change program execution and modify or display data without stopping or interrupting the program. Eventpoint conditions, such as hit and ignore counts, are patched directly into an application and can execute at full application speed. NightView provides fine-grained control without adversely affecting application timing. NightView includes an interactive memory debugger that helps find and eliminate memory problems during the debug process without code recompilation Re`com`pi`la´tion

NightTrace is a tool for displaying and analyzing the dynamic run-time behavior of applications, the Linux operating system and the interaction between them. NightTrace can log events from multiple processes executing simultaneously on multiple CPUs. NightTrace can also combine user-defined application events with kernel events to present a synchronized view of the entire system. NightTrace then creates a graphical time-based view of all logged events. NightTrace allows users to zoom, search, filter, summarize and analyze events. Tracing analysis can be performed live or post execution.

NightProbe is a tool for independently monitoring, modifying and recording data values from multiple application resources, including programs, shared memory segments and memory mapped files. NightProbe can be used in a development environment for debugging, analysis, prototyping and fault injection, or in a production environment to create a GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface.  control panel for program input and output.

NightSim is a tool for building applications that require predictable, cyclic process execution. Ideal for simulation, NightSim allows developers to control and dynamically adjust multiple coordinated processes, their priorities, and CPU CPU

 assignments. Users can control and monitor the performance of their applications by displaying period execution times, minimums and maximums, and can take action when frame overruns occur.

NightTune provides a graphical interface to system facilities for monitoring and tuning application and system performance. Users can monitor the priority, scheduling policy, CPU assignment and CPU usage of user applications. NightTune also monitors system CPU usage, context switches, interrupts, memory paging and network activity.
