QNX Implements Aonix VM Solution in Eclipse-based IDE; PERC Virtual Machine Supports Java Framework for Self-Hosted QNX Momentics Development Suite.BOSTON -- Aonix(R), a provider of solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, announces the selection of Aonix PERC PERC See: Preferred equity redemption stock (R) virtual machine by QNX A multiuser, multitasking, real time operating system for PCs from QNX Software Systems, Ltd., Ottawa, Ontario (www.qnx.com), that is noted for its low-memory requirement and rapid response. Similar to Unix, it has been in use since the early 1980s. Software Systems, a provider of real time operating system A master control program that can provide immediate response to input signals and transactions. See real time system and embedded Linux. (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. ) software, development tools, and services for superior embedded design. The QNX(R) Momentics(R) Development Suite 6.3 offers an Eclipse-based integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE) within a Java control framework. Aonix PERC solution brings superior Java developer capabilities and the up-to-date standard edition virtual machine capabilities that are required to run QNX Momentics. The PERC Accelerator augments performance-critical QNX Momentics jar files with AOT-compiled code. The AOT AOT Agency of Transportation (Vermont, USA) AOT Ahead-of-Time AOT Assisted Outpatient Treatment AOT Aerosol Optical Thickness AOT All of Them (band) AOT As Opposed To AOT Among Other Things code is moved directly into memory when classes are loaded, enabling fast startup time by avoiding the overhead of JIT compilation of classes. The PERC ROMizer(TM) tool offers a customized PERC executable with statically linked and AOT-compiled libraries for XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. parsing and other core functions used by the QNX Momentics IDE. "We have extensive experience with JVMs in our environments," noted Steve Furr, Senior Product Manager at QNX. "We are pleased that the Aonix solution answers our customers' specific requirements for compatibility and performance in the QNX Momentics IDE. We especially appreciate the responsiveness of the Aonix team as they helped us optimize the PERC VM for our needs." "QNX is a major player in the real-time embedded market," said Jacques Brygier, Aonix vice president of marketing. "PERC technology has repeatedly provided robust real-time capabilities to high-reliability markets such as networking and communications, aerospace and defence and automotive. We are confident that the integration of our PERC solution will provide a seamless user experience to Momentics customers migrating from other host environments to a self-hosted QNX environment." The QNX Momentics(R) development suite provides time-saving tools for the entire development cycle. With the same IDE, developers using QNX Momentics can code in multiple languages (C, C++, Embedded C++, Java(TM)), work with multiple development hosts (Windows, Solaris, QNX Neutrino), and target a variety of processors (x86, MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. , PowerPC, ARM, StrongARM, Intel(R) XScale(TM) Microarchitecture, and SH-4). And since it is Eclipse based, the QNX Momentics IDE provides developers access to an open, extensible platform that allows other Eclipse-based tools--even those from different vendors--to work together seamlessly. PERC(R) is a clean-room virtual machine expressly created for demanding embedded and real-time systems requiring J2SE (Java 2 platform, Standard Edition) See Java 2. J2SE - Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition support. PERC delivers the ease and efficiency of Java Standard Edition support without sacrificing integrity, performance, or real-time behavior. It offers AOT and JIT compilation, remote debug support, deterministic garbage collection, standard graphics and extended commercial RTOS support. About Aonix(R) Aonix offers mission- and safety-critical solutions primarily to the military and aerospace, telecommunications and transportation-related industries. Aonix delivers the leading high-reliability, real-time embedded virtual machine solution for running Java(TM) programs deployed today and has the largest number of certified Ada applications at the highest level of criticality. Our unique modeling solution features UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. (TM) 2.0 profiles and MDA (1) (Monochrome Display Adapter) The first IBM PC monochrome video display standard for text. Due to its lack of graphics, MDA cards were often replaced with Hercules cards, which provided both text and graphics. See PC display modes and Hercules Graphics. (TM) tailored for the mission- and safety-critical space. Aonix products include PERC(R), RAVEN(TM), and Ameos(TM). Headquartered in San Diego, CA and Paris, France, Aonix operates sales offices throughout North America and Europe in addition to offering a network of international distributors.
