Résumé du livre
Our research approach challenges several basic assumptions upon which most current real-time operating systems are built and subsequently advocates a new paradigm based on the notion of application level predictability supported by a kernel which is both predictable and contains a method for on-line dynamic guarantee of deadlines. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the major ideas of this new paradigm and show how the Kernel incorporates these ideas. The Spring Kernel is being implemented in stages on a network of 68020 and 68030 based multiprocessors called SpringNet. Experiences with a preliminary version of the Kernel are also presented."
