Memory Organizer software now available for SCRAMNet Network.DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 1996--SYSTRAN Corp., developer of the SCRAMNet real-time computer communications network The transmission channels interconnecting all client and server stations as well as all supporting hardware and software. , today unveiled MemO(TM) Software. MemO, the Memory Organizer, helps systems developers get the most out of a SCRAMNet Network by creating and managing the configuration of the network's shared memory (1) Using part of main memory to support a low-cost display circuit that does not have its own memory. See shared video memory. (2) The common memory in a symmetric multiprocessing system that is available to all CPUs. See SMP. 1. . Through an easy-to-use graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to , the system developer defines the parameters of the shared memory as a set of partitions and variables within those partitions. MemO uses this layout to generate data declaration files in three software languages -- C, Ada, and FORTRAN. When compiled and linked with the user's application software, these declaration files map identical memory locations for all of the application software. MemO also produces an ASCII text file See ASCII file. for each memory configuration that fully documents the shared-memory region. MemO helps system developers get the most out of their shared-memory network by providing: -0-
- A central point from which to create and manage shared memory
variables.
- Simplified generation of memory declaration files.
- An easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) via X Windows.
- Support for: C, Ada, and FORTRAN languages.
- Output files portable to multiple platforms.
With the addition of new MemO software, the SCRAMNet Network now combines the speed and efficiency of conventional shared memory and the flexibility of a network with unprecedented performance and ease of use in distributed real-time computing applications. MemO software was developed through a cooperative arrangement between SAIC SAIC - http://saic.com. (Science Applications International Corp.), Dayton, and SYSTRAN SYSTRAN System Analysis Translator . It is distributed exclusively by SYSTRAN Corp. in conjunction with their SCRAMNet Network products. The price for this new software is $1,995. The SCRAMNet+ Network is a real-time communication system based on a replicated, shared-memory concept. SCRAMNet+ is optimized for the high-speed (150 Mb/s), ultra-low-latency transfer of data between computers that are solving portions of the same real-time problem. Its ring configuration achieves microsecond One millionth of a second. See space/time and ohnosecond. (unit) microsecond - One millionth (10^-6) of a second. application-to-application performance with zero software overhead. Located at 4126 Linden Ave., Dayton, OH 45432-3068 USA, SYSTRAN Corp. specializes in real-time shared-memory networking, Fibre Channel host bus adapters, I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output IP modules, and defense-related hardware/software research and development. -0- SCRAMNet is a registered trademark of SYSTRAN Corp.
