December 13, 2011 – Objective Interface Systems announced that its ORBexpress product doubles throughput when used with Green Hills Software INTEGRITY 10 real-time operating system (RTOS) with symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) on a dual-core processor.
ORBexpress is a high performance, secure real-time implementation of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard. The ORBexpress product provides a common communication platform that is available on a variety of processors, operating systems, compilers, and in C++, Ada, Java and VHDL for FPGA implementations.
The INTEGRITY RTOS provides complete SMP support that is optimized for embedded and real-time use. SMP support enables developers to realize the performance potential of multicore architectures while maximizing software reuse. ORBexpress provides a high-performance communications framework for INTEGRITY 10, enabling real-time and embedded systems to communicate seamlessly with ultra-low latency. ORBexpress was designed and implemented from its inception with a multi-threaded architecture, fully supporting SMP for inter-process and intra-process communications. This enables ORBexpress to scale seamlessly in a multicore environment.
Applications built with ORBexpress can therefore take advantage of the performance provided by additional cores of modern processors without changes to their source code. With ORBexpress, SMP support is automatic and requires no additional programming effort from application engineers.
