IntervalZero RTX 2011 Supports 32-Core SMP

Latest Real-Time Plug-in for Windows Announced

IntervalZero has announced a major update for the market-leading real-time extension for Windows, RTX.

RTX 2011 supports soft-control architectures, which leverage the processing power of x86 systems to replace dedicated DSP/FPGA hardware, allowing high-performance tasks to be distributed amongst up to 32 processor cores.

RTX 2011 has six new runtime editions, giving customers increased options for choosing the level of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) functionality required for their embedded systems . RTX 2011 is supported on Windows 7; Windows Vista, up through SP2; Windows XP, up through SP3; Windows Embedded Standard 2009; and Windows Embedded Standard 7.

RTX is an essential component in innovative Soft-Control Architectures that leading OEMs are rapidly adopting to achieve system-development cost reductions of 25 to 50%, as well as breakthroughs in throughput and yields, in production quality, and in a more compact physical footprint.

By leveraging RTX’s tight integration with the Microsoft Windows environment and its native SMP support on x86 multiprocessors, users can create Soft-Control Architectures that move the hard real-time control logic, such as programmable logic control, motion logic, and digital media algorithms, from specialized hardware components – FPGAs and DSPs – to software components.
