VenturCom, Inc Launches Enhanced RTX Version 6.0.WALTHAM, Mass. -- Market-leading Real Time Extension Solution for Windows Application A program that is written to run under Microsoft's Windows operating system. Such applications typically run under all 32-bit versions of Windows, but earlier applications might also run under the 16-bit versions (Windows 3.x) as well. See Windows. Software Development Supports Windows Service A Windows service is an application that starts when the Microsoft Windows operating system is booted and runs in the background as long as Windows is running. Typically, it does not have a user interface and is a long-running executable application that can run in its own Pack 2 and Intel's Hyper-threading Technology VenturCom, a global leader in designing and developing software solutions that enhance the control, dependability and management of Windows (R) operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , today announced the immediate availability of its updated RTX RTX Russian Traded Index RTX Resiniferatoxin RTX Royal Trux (band) RTX Real Time Executive RTX Re-Transmission RTX Request Retransmission RTX Report Time Crossing (FAA) embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. for Windows application development. RTX is a real-time extension for Windows NT/2000/XP that provides high-speed, deterministic real-time capabilities for Windows. VenturCom's RTX (Real Time Extension) 6.0.1 enhances existing RTX functionality by extending support for Windows(R) XP(TM) Professional Service Pack 2, as well as support for Intel's (R) Hyper-threading technology. RTX provides a common and easy-to-use real-time application programming interface. Developers creating applications for Windows environments who require a development and execution environment with traditional real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. features, including high performance, reliability and determinism need the ability to know in advance how data will be manipulated by the target computer. RTX adds a finer degree 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 and timing control to Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. , Windows NT Embedded See Windows XP Embedded. , Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The added control enables engineers of next-generation communications, office automation, industrial, medical, and entertainment equipment to reliably develop and deploy high-performance, mission-critical applications that run on Windows. Windows user-mode applications access hardware directly, are paged to and from the disk and run under the Windows thread scheduler. VenturCom's RTX Version 6.0.1 provides two key upgrades for customers: --Support of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. RTX 6.0.1 has been fully tested with XP Pro Service Pack 2 for both uni-processor and multi-processor environments. With over 200 new features and fixes in Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2, Microsoft has improved the security of the base operating system as well as its stability, networking and overall performance. RTX is not affected by the large number of higher-level changes introduced in Service Pack 2. --Hyper-threading Support. RTX' support of Intel's hyper-threading technology provides performance enhancements to RTX applications while maintaining existing compatibility to hyper-threading capable systems. Hyper-threading makes a single physical processor appear as two CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. processors, and allows a single hyper-threading-enabled processor to work with two application threads, or two single threaded applications at the same time. RTX enhances Windows' universally adopted look and feel with features that give developers real-time determinism, dependability and the ability to reduce system costs by eliminating the need for customized or specialized hardware platforms. RTX accelerates application time to market through intuitive development tools that easily integrate into standard Windows IDEs, and increases overall performance with the smallest footprint in the market. "VenturCom has long been the leading provider of embedded solutions to enhance Windows application development environments," said Steve Woodard, VenturCom's Senior Vice President of Global Operations. "This latest version of RTX helps maximize the performance of applications running on XP Pro Service Pack 2, and protects customers' hardware investments with support for hyper-threading. Windows application developers benefit from RTX' intuitive development tools with the ability to bring new, real-time-enabled software to market quickly." RTX is available immediately by contacting VenturCom directly at 781/647-3000.
