      High reliability<\/strong><\/p>

      The OS\u20109\u00ae secure process model, real \u2010 time operating system (RTOS) provides inherent memory management, resource authorization, and module CRCs, dramatically improving system reliability.<\/p>

      High performance<\/strong><\/p>

      OS\u20109\u00ae makes effective use of the CPU by providing integrated I\/O and compiler technology tuned for the specific processor instruction sets.<\/p>

      High availability<\/strong><\/p>

      OS\u20109\u00ae has the ability to add, remove, and replace individual components in the system while on \u2010 line and in \u2010 use. This results in a high degree of system availability, even during maintenance. Proven over 30 years in mission critical devices around the world.<\/p>

      Hard Real-Time Performance<\/strong><\/p>

      Unlike Windows and Linux-based systems, Microware OS-9\u00ae was conceived from the ground up to meet the high performance and reliability requirements of time-critical embedded applications. Offers an ‚instant on‘ experience from reset to a running user interface.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

      OS-9\u00ae delivers excellent performance in even the most constrained environments.<\/p>

      OS-9\u00ae and user applications can run completely out of ROM\/Flash, leaving RAM dedicated for operating systems or other program use. OS-9\u00ae modules are re-entrant. Ten copies of the same 500K program can share the same 500K of program space and only require ten copies of data space (stack, process descriptors, and other system structures associated with the process).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

      The OS-9\u00ae modular architecture enables dynamic configuration changes and enhancements in order to meet changing system requirements without rebooting.<\/p>

      OS-9\u00ae applications are written as self-contained modules and are not linked in as a single monolithic code base with the kernel. Virtually any OS-9\u00ae component may be added, removed, or updated either at system startup or while the system is running.<\/p>

      This means features and new functionality can be added easily, in real-time, and even after deployment to the field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

      OS-9\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0supports asymetric multi processing (AMP) on multi core architectures running one OS-instance per core. By that deterministic real time behavior is provided. Dedicted processes per core allow multifuntional and parallel application execution in a system protected envrionment. The application designer keeps complete control over asynchronous and\/or synchronous events on the cores, e.g. a communication and a real time application can work reliably and efficiently on dedicated cores without interfering each other.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
