"I've worked in investment banking for several years and my experience suggests that most problems in financial software arise from the lack of real-time support. "

Quote from interview: "Start using RTSJ and see how simple it is. Get an edge up in many industries because for a large number of applications, it's becoming a required skill."

"The RTSJ for Wince project is currently in the planning stage and as a development schedule is formulated it will be posted."

IBM's Technical Articles about RTSJ

This is a series of articles about using Java and RTSJ for real-time applications.

Getting Real

"You should take several messages away from this paper:

1.       When missed deadlines are acceptable, an application can improve its real-time performance on a regular JVM by managing garbage collection and using a sporadic server.

2.       The supporting operating system is an important factor in real-time performance.

3.       A JVM needs priority scheduling to support real-time performance, and Java platforms have serious problems with priority scheduling that are hard to fix without something like the RTSJ."

Fireability Vs. Pinning

Should RTSJ be changed to stop maintaining the contents of an async event handler's scoped non-default initial memory area across releases? Does RTSJ 1.1's proposed pinning facility obsolete this behavior?

"This paper describes a Real-Time RMI (RT-RMI) framework
that supports timely invocation of remote objects."

"In recent work we have shown that it is possible to build a real-time collector for Java with highly regular CPU utilization and greatly reduced memory footprint."

"In this paper we present efficient algorithms for managing scoped
memories and the checks they impose on programs."

"The overall goal of our work is to systematically measure average and worst case latencies for exchange of "n" bytes of data (raw bytes, structures, etc.) between two processes by a variety of techniques including shared memory, sockets, RMI, CORBA, EJB, CCM, databases, etc. etc. etc. This data permits, we hope, to form an understanding of costs (and benefits) of these various abstractions and technologies used to implement them."
