Thomson Software Products announces a joint marketing and sales agreement with introspect Technologies Inc.SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 1995--Thomson Software Products announces the signing of an exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with introspect in·tro·spect intr.v. in·tro·spect·ed, in·tro·spect·ing, in·tro·spects To engage in introspection. [Latin intr Technologies Inc. The agreement provides Thomson Software Products Thomson Software Products (TSP) was a software development corporation based in Norwalk, Connecticut with engineering and support facilities in Norwalk and San Diego, California. Established in July 1995, the corporation became half of Aonix in 1996. with exclusive rights to distribute introspect Technologies' iRAT mathematical analysis Analysis has its beginnings in the rigorous formulation of calculus. It is the branch of mathematics most explicitly concerned with the notion of a limit, whether the limit of a sequence or the limit of a function. technology under the new name of perfoRMAx. The easy-to-use, graphical tool features an analytical engine A programmable calculator designed by British scientist Charles Babbage. After his Difference Engine failed its test in 1833, Babbage started the design of the Analytical Engine in 1834. that lets developers analyze, evaluate, and validate the timing behavior of real-time systems Real-time systems Computer systems in which the computer is required to perform its tasks within the time restraints of some process or simultaneously with the system it is assisting. before, during, and after implementation. perfoRMAx substantially reduces development and testing time. "Our customers develop mission- and life-critical applications that must operate under rigorous conditions," said David Wood David Wood may refer to:
perfoRMAx uses analytical techniques developed by the Software Engineering Institute for fixed-priority scheduling and Rate Monotonic monotonic - In domain theory, a function f : D -> C is monotonic (or monotone) if for all x,y in D, x <= y => f(x) <= f(y). ("<=" is written in LaTeX as \sqsubseteq). Analysis. perfoRMAx removes the uncertainties, complexities, and expenses related to dynamic simulations and post-deployment test harnesses. "Our tools take the drudgery out of specifying system performance and resource budgets, and make it possible to be assured of task scheduling (algorithm) task scheduling - The assignment of start and end times to a set of tasks, subject to certain constraints. Constraints are typically either time constraints (the payload must be installed before the payload bay doors are closed) or resource constraints (this task , even under worst case conditions," said Mary Burns, director of marketing at introspect Technologies. "Because our technology is completely independent of specific programming languages, target hardware, and real-time operating systems, we are immediately accessible to a global audience. Our partnership with Thomson Software Products will allow us to do that." perfoRMAx runs under Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows/NT. Plans are already underway for ports to Solaris and HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. . Future releases of Thomson Software Products' Ada kernels will also include instrumentation that will provide a verification capability that complements the specifications created with perfoRMAx. Pricing starts at $3595.00. introspect Technologies Inc. introspect Technologies, based in Colorado Springs, Colo. is a software development and services company, specializing in real-time embedded systems. The company provides real-time systems and software developers with a comprehensive set of tools to analyze, evaluate, and validate the timing behavior of time-sensitive applications. Thomson Software Products Thomson Software Products is a $75 million software company with products installed in over 20,000 locations worldwide.
