Tri-Pacific Software, Inc. Announces Latest Real-Time CORBA Product: RapidSched 1.0 -- Beta -- Global Scheduler.ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 1998--Tri-Pacific Software, Inc., a provider of real-time scheduling solutions to the software industry, today announced the release of a beta version A pre-shipping release of hardware or software that has gone through alpha test. A beta version of software is supposed to be very close to the final product, but, in practice, it is more a way of getting users to test the software in the first place under real conditions. of the RapidSched(tm) 1.0 global scheduling service for Real-Time CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global (tm) systems, at the Embedded Systems West Conference in San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County. . By implementing a Deadline 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).

(2) (Defense Messaging System) An X.500-compliant messaging system developed by the U.S. Dept. of Defense. ) and Distributed Affected Set Priority Ceiling Protocol In real-time computing, the priority ceiling protocol is a synchronization protocol for shared resources to avoid unbounded priority inversion. In this protocol each resource is assigned a priority ceiling, which is a priority equal to the highest priority of any task which may (DASPCP), the product prevents unbounded priority inversion from resource contention, up until now a major obstacle to the real-time engineer seeking to enforce schedules across a distributed network. "Using RapidSched, the developer can now use Tri-Pacific's PERTS PERTS Prototyping Environment for Real-Time Systems (Prototyping Environment for Real-Time Systems) to analyze and validate the schedulability of a Real-Time CORBA architecture, allowing him or her to know what priorities to use to guarantee the system schedulability," stated Peter Kortmann, President of Tri-Pacific Software, Inc. "RapidSched provides the new real-time middleware scheduling interface mechanism for Object Request Brokers (ORBs) and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs) that developers have been asking for, which is ideal for fixed priority scheduled CORBA systems," Kortmann continued.
